2.10 Select Display Mode

The display mode is a combination of the bearing indication and the target motion indication.

The bearing is indicated in three ways: HUP, CUP and NUP.

The target motion is indicated in two ways: RM and TM.

1 Move cursor on the DISPLAY MODE display, and press ENT key.

The display changes in following order by pressing ENT key. Current display mode is displayed at

the upper left of the display.

Note: Display mode can be changed directly to press MODE key. (MDC-5500 series only)

For H UP (Head up mode)

Heading line is always oriented toward the top of the display.

This mode is based on the bow of the ship and is suitable to monitor targets because targets are seen

as they are in navigating own ship.

When heading signal is connected, H UP works by stabilized mode. (STAB H UP)

Note:

・This is a presentation mode stabilized in azimuth with fixed origin in which the radar image is oriented

“up” toward the top of the bearing scale.

・Radar echoes and tracked targets are shown at their measured distances and moving in a direction

relative to own ship’s heading.

・The heading line points from the own ship to the top of the bearing scale showing own ship’s heading

in true bearing mode.
