    The active target transducer connects to a box, the box connects to the Carbon via ethernet (yellow port). Do you not have the active target module (box)?

    Yes and I thought the active target transducer should plug directly into the back of the carbon same as the structure scan or any other transducer, I guess I should have read the directions. Thanks

    You guys really make technical writers shake their heads. Unfortunately, too many engineers write the manuals and not technical writers. There's an old Air Force saying.....when in doubt, read the tech data!!!!
