the vessels position and provide cursor and m arker latitude
and longitude.
• Simrad echo sounders (EQ, ES and EK Series) provides a
bottom plot on the catch data page.
• Simrad PI32, PI44 and PI54 Catch Monitoring systems
provide the net depth in digits and bars on the catch data
presentation.
• Simrad trawl instrumentation; FS900, FS3300, FS70 or ITI
– FS70, FS900 and FS3300: The trawl will be displayed in
