Placing target markers
The Target Marker function is primarily used for remotely operated vehicle (ROV) navigation. Third-party ROV software can use the time and location information to steer the ROV toward the target.
Context
You can press 0–9 to place a marker in the sonar view that is stamped with time and location information. In addition, you can export this information to a serial or UDP port.
Procedure
1 To start using target markers, click DisplayEnable Target Marker.
Observe that the Target Marker Export dialog box opens.
2 Choose a serial port from the drop-down list.
Note
The default serial settings cannot be altered.
3 Click OK to enable serial port export.
Alternatively, click Cancel to use the Target Marker function without exporting to a serial port.
UDP export is always available, whether you enable serial port export or not.
4 Move the mouse cursor to the location in the sonar view where you wish to place a marker.
5 Press any number key from 0 to 9 on your keyboard to place a marker.
Note
Target markers cannot be moved once they are placed.
6 To remove all target markers from the sonar view, click DisplayDelete All Markers.
Alternatively, use the wiper located on the tool bar to remove individual markers.
