3.5.1.7 Mixing Levels

'MENU' + "MAP SETTINGS" +'ENTER' + "Mixing Levels" + 'ENTER'

When the map coverage at the current zoom level does not fill the entire

screen, the chart plotter draws the rest of the map expanding the cartographic infor-

mation read from, at most, two zoom levels above the current zoom level. For this

reason the map is drawn three times: firstly it draws the two levels before the current

level and then the current level. The area covered by the cartographic data read from

the previous levels is identified by a dotted pattern. When the cursor is moved on an

area not covered by data of the current level the chart plotter zooms out to the first

level covered by cartographic data. The default setting is On.

Note

The Mixing Levels function works only with the new

C-CARDs. It also affects the speed of the

redraw of the screen. If this function is not used it maybe disabled.

3.5.1.8 Safety Status Bar (DSI - Data Safety Indicator)

'MENU' + "MAP SETTINGS" +'ENTER' + "Safety Status Bar" + 'ENTER'

It is possible to choose between the three following options:

• ON : the Safety Status Bar is shown

• OFF : the Safety Status Bar is not shown

• ICON : the Safety Status Bar is not shown, but a warning alarm icon

is shown on the corner of the map screen as soon as any item

controlled by the DSI function returns an alarm condition.

The Warning Icon remains displayed until the alarm condi-

tion persists. Placing the cursor over it, a quick help message

is shown next to the DSI icon, allowing to show the DSI bar.

In this case - when the DSI bar is opened via DSI alarm icon -

it is allowed to obtain information about each “active” DSI

box (the red ones): it is possible to select them by cursor move-

ment left/right, and a list of active alarms is shown under-

neath the selected box. By pressing 'CLEAR', the DSI bar is

removed from the screen.

When Safety Status Bar is On, this feature displays a status bar with six boxes

showing the status of certain functions. Any warning or alarm condition is identified

by the red color to indicate possible risk.
