Raymarine Dragonfly 6 User Manual

7.10 Sensitivity adjustments
The onscreen image can be enhanced using the
Sensitivity settings.
Sensitivity options are:
• Gain
• Contrast
• Noise Filter
Gain
The Gain setting adjusts the return threshold (echo
strength) at which an object will be displayed
onscreen. Adjusting the setting can improve target
identication, however for optimum performance in
most conditions, it is recommended that you use the
auto setting.
Gain can be set to automatic or manual:
• Automatic — In Auto mode, the setting is
automatically adjusted to suit current conditions.
Any adjustments made apply to all views using
that application.
• Manual — If necessary you can adjust the setting
manually, between a value of 0% to 100%. The
higher the setting the more detail will appear
onscreen. This value should be set high enough
to see sh and bottom detail without too much
background noise. Generally a higher setting is
used in deep and/or clear water; a low setting in
shallow and/or murky water.

Contrast
The Contrast setting changes the signal strength
threshold for the strongest color / shading. Adjusting
the setting can improve target identication, however
for optimum performance in most conditions, it is
recommended that you use the auto setting.
All echoes with a signal strength above the specied
value are displayed in the strongest color / shade.
Those with a weaker value are divided equally
between the remaining colors / shades.
• Setting a low value produces a wide band for the
weakest color / shade, but a small signal band for
the other colors / shades.
• Setting a high value gives a wide band for the
strongest color / shade, but a small signal band for
the other colors / shades.
The Contrast setting can be set to automatic or
manual:
• Automatic — In Auto mode the contrast setting is
automatically adjusted to suit current conditions.
Any adjustments made apply to all views.
• Manual — You can set the contrast manually,
between a value of 0% to 100%.

Noise Filter
The Noise Filter reduces the amount of clutter
displayed onscreen by varying the gain throughout
the column of water. Adjusting the setting can
improve target identication, however for optimum
performance in most conditions, it is recommended
that you use the auto setting.
The Noise Filter can be set to automatic or adjusted
manually:
• Automatic — In Auto mode the Noise Filter is set
to 20%.

manually, between a value of 0% to 100%.
