I have had the Panoptix Livescope out on the ice several times this year. Livescope Forward has been fairly intuitive, scanning ahead with the “apex” (see picture below) of the transducer pointing forward in the correct orientation. I used Livescope Down the other day over some structure. Is there a predictable way in Livescope Down mode to know which way is right or left? I can spin the transducer while using jigs in two different holes to figure out right and left, but wondering if there was a more reliable/efficient way to do this. For example, in Livescope Down mode, if you point the “apex” of the transducer directly toward you, does that orient right and left appropriately, or should the “apex” of the transducer point left to orient right and left correctly?
I understand that Livescope Forward and Down requires physically adjusting the transducer on the pole – not a question about this. This is more about understanding and predicting beam orientation and interpretation by the sonar unit. Appreciate the help from the IDO crew!
