A Recording information
Displays the filename when you are recording data.
B Depth Tracking
If Depth Tracking is enabled, then this text will appear when the head is running.
C Time synchronization status
Displays the status of the time synchronization process if Host Time Sync Mode is enabled. “Syncing” displays during time synchronization (which takes approximately two minutes). “Sync OK” displays when time synchronization is complete. “Sync Error” displays if the computer clock is irregular (for example, due to interference from the time source). In this case, restart the synchronization process by disconnecting, then reconnecting, the Sonar Head.
D Sound Speed 
The sound speed is displayed in green (after filtering and thresholding). This text will display in blue during playback if Override Sound Speed is enabled.
E GeoTiff
If GeoTiffs are automatically being created, then this text will display in green.
F Disk space monitor
Displays the percentage of hard drive space you have available for data recordings.
G System status
Shows the system status, such as “Active” when the system is connected to a Sonar Head, “Inactive” when not connected, or “Playback” when replaying a recorded file. Clicking the system status text will open a Connection Status window. You can click on M3 Sonar in the Connection Status window to open a Head Status window showing telemetry information.
H Sonar connection performance
If network logging is enabled in the System Configuration dialog box, then the ping loss, packet loss, and the last ping data rate will be displayed.
I Offsets
If Mounting Offsets Override is enabled then this text will appear during playback.
