So i called simrad tech and i was told the unit would not work with the transducer ad would not until a future software update is developed which may occur next.
Lowrance side scan not working.
The lowrance 3d structure scan on the other hand gives you a picture of the fish in the water column.
The side scan allows you to see that the fish is toward the side.
Lowrance product expert jacob scott walks through the basic settings set up and interpretation of active imaging sidescan.

Lowrance elite 7ti side scan issues.
Have 2 other lowrance units in my boat.
All gps and basic sonar work fine from all three hds units in the boat.
Making a few adjustments to your structurescan settings can enhance the on the water performance of your hds unit.
The structure scan has a 3d display that works like a side scan but allows you to see the point at which the fish are suspended.
They all show the same thing as the hds10 at my console.
Here is a quick breakdown.
I have had it out on the water to test and everything works but the side imaging.
Sonar and down imaging both work.
My guess is you have a transducer where the xid is not working properly.
Any other ideas i could try before i take it to the shop.
Medium chirp or 83khz specifically designed to give the widest coverage area 83 khz is ideal for watching a bait under the transducer in shallow water.
I have purchased and installed the lowrance elite 7ti with totalscan transducer.
Low chirp or 50khz lower frequency means higher power for deep water fishing.
