V7 Heave Control

I performed the software update to V7 yesterday and everything went smoothly. I like the new features. The update features document mentions that heave control is now available for the internal sounder but the setting to enable it was not showing on my settings list. I have an SCX20 sat compass on the network which is working fine. I rechecked everything and looked for what might appear to be a related required setting but couldn't find anything. All other new features appear to be functioning. Do you know what might be my issue or did this feature not make it into V7?

Thanks!
 
The internal sounder of the TZT2 doesn't offer heaving support. External network sounders, FCV1150, and TZT3 internal sounds do.
 
Does that mean that this section of the document "Overview of changes made to TZtouch2 using V7 software" is incorrect?


5.4. Heaving Correction
Heaving correction is available with the built-in Fish Finder in combination with a SATELLITE COMPASS such as SCX-20 and SC-33. The following screenshot shows how effectively the seabed is stabilized while [Heaving Correction] is set to [ON].
 
Yes, I believe that to be incorrect. I think that information relates to the TZT3 but will verify with Japan. Japan was really clear that the TZT2 internal sounder doesn't have heaving control. Thanks for pointing that out because it gives me something to use when asking Japan.
 
The mistake was ours. The document was created from a TZT3 document to show all the TZT3 type features being added to TZT2. Furuno USA created the document but missed that edit. TZT3 will use internal heaving. The feature change still applies but only to external black box sounders. A new edited version will be posted shortly.
 
Regarding heave compensation, you say external sounders have the capability.

Does that include:
DFF1
DFF1-UHD
DFF3
DFF3D

Thanks
