The M3 software menu system
The menu system is located on the top of the presentation. To open any of the menus, click the menu title.
To select operational parameters on the M3 Sonar, use the menu system. The menus are organized in a tree structure. Some of the menu items open dialog boxes to offer additional choices.

The File menu allows you to open a recorded file, as well as choose the recording and exporting formats of your data files. You can also load your user settings from a previous software version. |
|
B |
Use the Display menu to control the visual aspects of the system, and to show or hide various elements in the presentation. |
|
C |
You can connect to the Sonar Head using the Setup menu. You can also configure the system, choose your preferences, set up the coordinate system, upgrade the Sonar Head firmware,
or change the Sonar Head IP Address. |
|
D |
The Sonar Applications menu lists various operating modes used for different applications. Each mode has its own pre-defined characteristics, such as differing ranges, angular resolutions, and pulse types. You can configure which applications will appear by opening the Customize Apps dialog box, which is the last item in this list. All Sonar Applications menu items will be greyed out until the sonar is running. The selection of sonar applications presented in the Sonar Applications menu depends on the current Sonar Head frequency. |

E |
The Advanced menu is intended for experienced users or for testing purposes and is not required for normal operation of the M3 Sonar. This menu requires a software license key, and will not appear if you do not have one. |
|
F |
The Help menu allows you to view hardware and software information in the About M3 dialog box. You can also open the M3 Sonar Reference Manual from this menu. |
