    Dual Solix 12 @ console

    I have 2 Solix 12 MSI Gen 2 at my console. Is there a way to make the side imaging right show on 1 screen & the side Imaging Left show on the other. Right now if I change the SI to Right or Left that is what shows up on both screens.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Yes. Turn off all Global settings.

    That is how you do this also:

    Don't have a SOLIX linked to any other units, but I would guess you have to turn Global OFF in the Settings/General menu even though those settings are not listed.

    You need to turn global off in settings general on each unit on console. Then put the view you want on each unit, I’m assuming you want SI at top or bottom of each. Then be sure the SI screen is selected (yellow border), express menu, sonar options, and you will see two Global’s for sonar, turn each off and confirm after each. Do this to both units.

    I'm trying to get the right side scan (full screen) on the right unit & The left side scan (Full Screen)on the left unit

    I have 3 solix 12 Gen2 2 at the console & 1 at the bow
    I have turned off all of the global settings and when I changed 1 toe left side scan they both changed to left side scan

    I have 4 Solix 12s. Latest software. 2 console, 2 bow, what I said above works for me. When you say all global settings, do you realize there are 2 for each sonar view and 3 for each chart view in each pane? A triple pane view, SI across top, DI bottom left, chart bottom right will have Global’s for each pane so three sets on that one view. Switch views, start over with turning Global’s off if needed. Changes to the global settings are retained.

    you would need to turn main global off in settings general then on the SI full screen page two Global’s X2 on each unit

    That IS one unit. I did a custom view with two SI views and turned all the Globals OFF.

    "GLOBAL OFF" so they don't share settings.

    It's nothing new.
    Helix units got that added to their view rotation.

    I have one SOLIX and that is a screen shot from that one unit and the image is the Simulator recording.

    I tried to set up a view like that and was unable to. I'm heading out in the morning and will give it another shot. Seems like it should be doable, I just don't know how at this point!
