Automatic Switch For Marine Sounders
First Claim
1. A switch that couples a transducer signal to one of plural sounders onboard a marine vessel, comprising:
- a detection circuit that detects the sounder that is requesting a transducer signal; and
a control circuit that couples the transducer signal to the requesting sounder responsive to the detection circuit.

Abstract
A switch that couples transducer signal to a specific sounder of multiple sounders in response to a sensed signal from the specific sounder. The switch can include a first detection circuit that determines the sounder that is requesting the first transducer signal and a first control circuit that couples the first transducer signal to the requesting sounder. The switch can further include a second detection circuit that determines the sounder that is requesting the second transducer signal and a second control circuit that couples the second transducer signal to the requesting sounder.

7. A transducer signal switching system for a marine vessel, comprising:
-
a transducer that produces a signal representative of characteristics of a body of water;
at least two sounders for producing a visual representation of the characteristics from the transducer signal; and
a switch that determines the sounder that requires the transducer signal and couples the transducer signal to the determined sounder. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
