Can the striker unit be switched between CHIRP and DV?

chirp is like adding a turbo for better performance or in this case clarity, http://www8.garmin.com/chirpsonar/
dv is down-vu by garmin terms or prefered name where lowrance will have dsi (also known ds) meaning down scan imaging. both are dv and dsi give the same picture and is best for seen the structure, sonar is old technology but very usefull for seeing fish.
i think...todays beer at lunch went straight up there

A bit of snooping round the interwebs provided the answer, and FYI yes, you can switch between standard 2d viewing and DownVu or you can have them both available on split screen.

Ok so purchased the 4dv. I must say it is exactly what i was looking for.
Really awesome product. I think the 5dv would've been a bit to big/bulky.
I've attached a pic of my little setup.
