Again I may be wrong, but it might be worth looking into.

The Elite 7 HDI xducer will not have SI when used on a Touch unit...(there are no "side pointing" piezoes in the HDI xducer)...

Just 2d/DI....

Like Justin said...the best scenario is find a LSS 1...and use it with the Touch alone...or along with the HDS and the module...
