Q:What’s the difference between EZ and Advanced modes in OceanView software?
A:Options are great but can sometimes be overwhelming. So, in response to customer feedback, we updated OceanView to offer a simpler version with fewer functions. Now, in OceanView versions 2.0.8 and higher, users can switch between two modes:EZandAdvanced.
How to Determine Current OceanView Mode
When OceanView software is first installed, thedefault mode is EZ。在Oceanview的标题栏的最左边，在“ OceanView 2.0.x（许可）-XX的右侧，显示屏显示了用户是在EZ（EZ）还是高级（Advanced）模式中。

如何去瑞士tch Between Operating Modes
Switching between modes is as simple clicking the EZ or Advanced icons in the upper toolbar. The EZ icon is simple to spot – it’s an “EZ.” TheAdvanced mode iconappears assilhouetted figures。

What’s the Difference between EZ and Advanced Modes?
The primary difference between modes is that Advanced mode has more functions (represented in OceanView by icons).
Also, the Tools menu item underFile|Toolsis only available in Advanced mode. That includes access to theFile|Toolssubmenu itemsCombine CalibrationorRaw USB。
