*I always record on the HB unit with the 83kHz shut completely off to make less data to record..(I don't really need to see the 83kHz 60° cone data in Humviewer)...Quote:

*Sonar frequency (2d/DI/SI)...is dictated by what frequency the recording was made...
*I adjust the 2d and DI pane "Crop to" setting to the next depth choice deeper than the water the recording was made in...
*I choose the Palette color that shows the best for the particular Enviromental conditions the recording was made in...(hard bottom I will choose Blue or Amber - soft bottom I will choose Green)...
*Playback Speed depends on if I'm looking for 1 specific item (faster)....or if I'm studying and marking waypoints (slower)...
*I always name waypoints in Humviewer with the identifier the HB unit put on the Recording...R000x...(x is the sequential recording ever made on that unit)..then I add an additional "b" for brush .... "sb" for stakebed...."st" for stump...then I also add a sequential number such as 1, 2, 3, ect to indicate the waypoint in that specific recorded track...so the 1st waypoint marked in that Humviewer recording may look like "R0009br1...the 2nd waypoint marked in that Humviewer recording may look like "R0009sb2...etc
(Note: when these waypoints are run thru HBPC and loaded back into my unit...I know those waypoints labeled with the "R0000x" prefix were created in Humviewer)...(so anytime I'm on the water and I'm close to a waypoint named with the "R0000x" prefix, I will go verify that waypoint to see if what I marked in Humviewer is actually something worth keeping in my HB unit waypoint memory...if it turns out to be nothing, I delete it from my HB unit memory)...
