[CA] [CA11] adding chirp to system

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Tony,

Q1. both scenarios state replace the e7 with an es78 and both a CPT-S transducer.
A1. Incorrect. The first scenario included a DownVision transducer and the second scenario included a CPT-S transducer.

Q2. would there be any advantage to keeping the e7 and adding a chirp module.. I guess I am asking if the chirp module (cp100) is the same component within the es78?
A2. There has been some feedback that the CP100 DownVision Sonar Module provides cleaner (less noisy) sonar imaging than that of ax8 MFDs and eSx8 MFDs having embedded DownVision sonar circuity. Using a CP100 may also offer some cost savings, provide a more modular solution, provide an easier installation (particularly if the e7 MFD is presently flush mounted and/or interfaced to a NMEA 0183 device), as well as permit you to have two displays having HybridTouch interfaces.
