2.13 Measurement of bearing by EBL
This feature is used for measuring the bearing of the target from the base point (reference point for
default value.) Two electronic bearing lines [EBL1] and [EBL2] are provided.
Turn EBL/VRM knob (MDC-5200 series) or EBL knob (MDC-5500 series) and lay each bearing line on
the desired target and read the bearing on the display.
[Bearing mode] can be changed directly in the lower left of the display, by cursor and ENT key, without
using menu function.
1 Press EBL1 key, and the bearing line of EBL1 is displayed as a dashed line.
The bearing value to the target is indicated at the lower left of the display, and a symbol
displayed on the left side of the bearing value.
2 Rotate bearing line using EBL/VRM knob or EBL knob to adjust the line on the desired target.
The bearing value changes at the same time and you can read the bearing of the target.
Note: Turning the knob (while pressing it) changes the bearing quickly.
3 Another press of EBL1 key, and the dashed line disappears and the bearing value on the lower left
of the display also disappears.
4 Press EBL2 key, and the bearing line is shown as a dotted line.
The operation procedure and display of the bearing is the same as EBL1.
5 If you want to display both EBL1 and EBL2 simultaneously, press EBL1 key and press EBL2 key.
Then, you can show both the dashed bearing line and the dotted bearing line.
6 Press EBL key to switch EBL1 or EBL2 as you desired.
The color of selected EBL key on the operating panel changes to red. (MDC-5500 series only)
