Use Split View

Show two channels side by side for cross-reference.

Use this when

You want to watch multiple channels at the same time. All Channels view stacks available channels in separate panes so you can cross-reference returns across different sonar frequencies without switching back and forth.

Before you start

A recording must be open. All Channels view shows whichever channels are present in the file. You do not need to select them manually.

Switch to All Channels view

  1. Click the All Channels button in the view mode group at the top of the viewer (the rightmost icon in the four-button toggle).
  2. The viewer splits into panes, one per available channel.

What you should see

Each available channel occupies its own pane. The panes are arranged vertically. All panes scroll together; the playhead and scrubber stay synchronized across every channel. Labels on each pane identify the channel, for example SI Port or Down 200.

If it does not work

  • Only one pane appears — the loaded file contains only one channel. Use Single view instead.
  • A pane appears blank — that channel exists in the file but has no data at the current playhead position. Move the scrubber to a section of the recording that has returns for that channel.
  • Panes are very narrow — the sidebar is open and reducing available width. Collapse the sidebar using the arrow button on its right edge to give the viewer more space.
