3.7 Choosing the Tilt Speed
The [FAST SCAN] key chooses the tilt speed; that is, the stepping angle at which the
transducer scans. Two choices are available, 3° (normal speed) and 6° (high speed). Each
time the key is pressed the display momentarily shows “NORM” (normal speed) or “FAST”
(high speed).
Normal: 60 transmissions to complete a half circle, in increments of 3°.
High: 30 transmissions to complete a half circle, in increments of 6°.
The time required to scan one full area of 180° depends on range used and other factors.
The table below shows the time required to complete one full area on each range.
