First of all, the screen on the SOLIX is almost twice as bright as the screen on the ONIX. SOLIX is 1500 nits. ONIX was about 800 nits. By comparison, the 1100 series was 1200 nits and the HELIX series is 1500 nits.
Second, we have improved the AG and AR coatings on the glass due to switching to a new touch screen. You should notice that the screen does not reflect as much as the ONIX does. It is on par with the HELIX.
Lastly, the stack up of displays, optical gel, touch-screens, and glass does not change from industry to industry or product to product. It is a single assembly just like the ONIX. If a gap is perceived it is because we use a thicker and thus stronger piece of glass then say your cell phone would. The gap that is perceived is the thickness of the glass – not a gap between the glass and the display.
The challenge with high performance hulls is that there is actually very little of the hull in the water when trimmed out and on plane ...
It is imperative that the shoot thru xducer be installed at a spot in the bilge that has constant contact with the water at higher speed when the boat is up and on pad ...
This means the shoot thru must be as far rearward as possible and as close to the keel line as possible ...
When the boat is up on plane you can try trimming the motor down some to stick more of the hull in the water ... If the depth reading seems to improve, it means the shoot thru is too far forward and that part of the hull is coming out of the water as the boat planes out on the pad ...
It is also possible the hull wasn't properly prepared by sanding and cleaning the install area before the shoot thru was epoxied in ...
I've even heard of rare instances where the hull is delaminated at the install spot and another spot must be used ...
The shoot thru xducer should be tested before epoxying to test for performance at all speeds ...
Here is more info on proper preparation, testing, and installation ...

Workaround for creating I tracks in AutoChart and importing into HB ...
url]http://forums.sideimagingsoft.com/index.php?topic=9247.msg56732#new[/url]
QUOTE=sfw1960;8257376]I start the AS ETH 5PXG 1st and then after a few seconds or so I fire up the unit I would call the "master" (unit you're mainly tapping info from) and give that 2-3 minutes to fully come online, acquire an IP address & make sure it sees anything connected (just the 5PXG).
Then I will fire up the next of several (if you have more than one) displays allowing each to come online and acquire an IP addy.
If at any time you get a message "local sonar/GPS/etc lost - switch to local?" either ignore it for a few minutes or hit exit on the unit.
Rinse & repeat until all units are online & seeing each other without being in a hurry to view the system status (which I keep that view enabled for checking if needed).
Go into the network tabs & configure your sources as you'd like, and if they are not listed - you probably jumped the gun & didn't wait long enough.
It takes a while to get ready to go, so I am always starting up the network after I dump the rig.
If you experience repeated drops after this procedure - you may need to reset the network by yanking the Ethernet while the machines are booted - and disconnect each one by one, shutting down and again booting with NO network connection so the switch & units release the IP addresses and start fresh.
I have only had to do this ONCE in several years of networking my HB units.

Hey Chris ... You have the basic idea correct for Question 1 ...Quote:

Question 2 is easily misinterpreted to think that the water depth subtracted from the Range equals bottom coverage - which is incorrect ...
The Range value entered is the "slant line distance" from the xducer to the point - so bottom coverage can be calculated using the Phythagorean theory as below ...

Now would be a good time to start a folder organization system (on your PC) for your Snapshots ... This is beneficial as your Snapshots library starts growing ... and for re-viewing Snapshots on the HB unit at a future date ...
It's important to understand that the SNAPSHOTS folder must be kept intact to view the included Snapshots on the HB unit ... This means that the folder title SNAPSHOTS must not be edited in order for the unit to recognize it is Snapshots ...and the files inside the SNAPSHOTS folder must not be edited for the unit to display them ...
My system is ...:
*Create a folder on my PC desktop labeled "Humminbird"
*Inside the "Humminbird" folder - create a new folder labeled "Humminbird Snapshots" ...
*Inside the "Humminbird Snapshots" folder - create a new folder labeled with "today's date Snapshots" ...
*Inside the "today's date Snapshots" folder - copy and paste the SNAPSHOTS folder from the SD card ...
1. This system allows easy reference to Snapshots taken on a certain day ...
2. This system allows keeping the SNAPSHOTS folder in tact - such that the SNAPSHOTS folder can be copied back to a SD card and recognized by the unit in order to display those Snapshots on the HB unit at a future date ....

*Cursor over to the Setup tab ...

*Cursor right or left To select "Boxes" ...

Any version has all features and fixes of previous updates so it doesn't hurt to skip versions ...
There are a few preparations that are advised before updating ...
It's a good idea to export the waypoints and verify in HBPC that you have exported a hard copy of your waypoint library ...
Then ...:
*Remove any map cards just in case ...
*Power on the unit by itself (no other Ethernet devices powered on) ...
*Restore Defaults under the Setup tab ...
*Insert the SD card that contains the update ...
*Select Yes from the green popup to confirm you want to update ...
*Select No from the red popup to confirm you do not want to Abort the update ...
*Wait for the unit to update and restart itself ...
*Press Exit when it boots to the Navigation disclaimer screen ...
*Remove SD card
*Restore Defaults under the Setup tab once again ...

Humminbird DI models are not compatible with US2 ...
https://www.minnkotamotors.com/US2-C...?LangType=1033
NOTE: Minn Kota motors with built-in Universal Sonar 2 (including those with i-Pilot Link) are not compatible with Humminbird's Down Imaging Sonar. An external XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T (83/200) or XTM 9 DI 25T (200/455) is required for all sonar readings with all HELIX 12 , HELIX 10, HELIX 9, 1100, 900, and 800 Humminbird Down Imaging units. An external XTM 9 DI 25T transducer would be required for the Down Imaging versions of the HELIX 7 and HELIX 5 along with the 788ci HD DI.

While it won't hurt the unit to operate in Normal out of the water - you would need GPS reception from the satellites in Normal mode to have access to any Chart Views or Chart settings for home study ...
Boot the unit into Simulator mode and you will have access to all features and settings in the unit ...
Press Menu during startup when the HB logo appears ...
Choose "Simulator" from the choices in the popup ...
Settings changes during Simulator operation will be remembered by the unit and utilized upon the next Normal operation boot up ...

The HB TS3 Switch will allow connecting 2 xducers to one head unit and then switch between the 2 ...
HB has discontinued the HB TS3 Switch but it can still be purchased thru some marine retailers ... (I think it will show back ordered if trying to purchased thru HB) ...

HB uses "DI from SI" technology in the following ...:
*All numbered series SI units ...
*All HELIX G1 series SI units ...
*All HELIX G2 series SI units ...
