Chapter 1: Operational Overview1-71.6 Chart Plotter Display OverviewThe chart plotter display provides a miniature world map. Detailed chart information is available when a chart card is inserted. The plotter section has facilities for waypoint entry and route construction and planning. A typical chart plotter display is shown in the illustration below. The chartplotter uses position information fed from position-fixing equipment such as GPS or DGPS. With position data available, your boat’s position is marked on screen with a boat icon, the configuration of which can be selected from the menu. If no head-ing or course data is available, your boat is shown as a hollow circle (flashing).Waypoints and routes you have entered are shown on the display, and they can easily be moved, deleted and edited from a pop-up menu. In addition to waypoint and route processing, the chart plotter also provides informa-tion to nearest port, displays your boat’s track, measures distances and bearings, marks man overboard (MOB) position, process various alarms, follow simple and complex routes, etc.Chart scalePresentationmode selectioniconNavdataWorldmapStatus barWaypointBoat icon(red)CursorText message area Sensor icons
Chapter 1: Operational Overview1-81.7 Radar Display OverviewA radar system operates in the ultra-high-frequency (UHF) or microwave part of the radio-frequency (RF) spectrum, and is used to detect the position and movement of objects. Objects are shown on the radar display at their measured distances and bear-ings, in intensities according to echo strength. The radar display is available in head-up, course-up and north-up modes and orienta-tion in true and relative motion. Relative motion shows other ships movement relative to own ship, True motion shows own ship and other moving objects moving in accor-dance with their true courses and speed. Dual VRMs are provided to measure the range to objects, and dual EBLs to measure the bearing to targets. A guard zone can be created to be alerted to targets in a spe-cific area. The trail of targets can be shown in afterglow to monitor their movement.

You may also move the cursor diagonally by pressing and holding down on any two locations together on the pad. The current cursor position is shown in the cursor position box at the bottom of the screen, if it is displayed. Cursor position box Status BarThe status bar is the yellow horizontal bar at the top of the display. It provides operat-ing information with text messages and sensor status with icons. Text (operational help, alarm alert, etc.) runs across the text message area from right to left, tickertape style. When an alarm is violated, the bar turns red and the name of the offending alarm appears in the text message area. The mode icons at the far right hand side show active and inactive sensors. An icon is animated if the corresponding sensor is active. An inactive sensor (or no data) has a red "X" through it.Icon Sensor Icon SensorMultimedia GPSWeather Fish Finder(under development)Compass RadarStatus barText message area Mode icons
Chapter 1: Operational Overview1-10ROTOkeysThe ROTOkeys are like "soft keys"; they change according to active display. The RO-TOkeys are hidden until you elect to display them. To display the ROTOkeys, simply rotate or push the Rotary Knob, and they appear at the right edge of the screen. By long-pushing the Rotary Knob you can display a greater quantity of ROTOkeys. In the default set up a short push shows the "basic" set and a long push shows the "stan-dard" set. A "full" set and "custom" set are also available. The ROTOkeys are auto-hiding, and are erased from the screen if not operated within about six seconds.
