The live-viewing module allows the near real-time display of data logged from some supported echosounders (currently Simrad Ex60, EK500, EA500, and SM2000 FR).
Live-viewing is monitored, initiated and stopped using the Live viewing dialog box and Live viewing variables dialog box. When live viewing is started Echoview automatically creates an EV file, using an appropriate live viewing template if available.
Echograms, (selected) editable lines, rectangular selections, schools detection, classification after schools detection, linked graphs, cruise tracks, scenes and the user-defined keyboard shortcut to create a marker region for the last ping will respond to newly arrived data when live viewing.
All (licensed) Echoview functionality is available during live viewing. This means you can, for example, run echo integrations, detect schools or fish tracks and create virtual variables on live-viewed data. Virtual echograms created in a live-viewing EV file will also scroll and update automatically providing multiple frequency and other analysis in real time.
Note: While live viewing, with the Live viewing license and without the Virtual variables license, virtual variables will close after the demonstration time has elapsed and a warning displayed.
