Installation manual

Simrad MX500 | 233
Appendix E - Demonstration
Mode
This enables the CDU to function as though you are un-
der way, even though you are completely stationary. The
default setting is No. When set to Yes, all three Traffic
Lights will be illuminated, and a D symbol is displayed in
the upper left corner of every display. Generally speak-
ing, this feature is used by SIMRAD and your dealer for
show room or trade show demonstrations. However, you
can use it as a training tool until you become familiar
with the CDU. You can also use it to output NMEA 0183
records on the data ports to test and demonstrate other
devices such as autopilots, chart plotters, and radars.
In the CFG Operation screen, activate the Demonstration
Mode by selecting Yes.
Follow:
Active Route: causes the CDU to use the route loaded in
RTE1 screen.
Rhumb Line: causes the CDU to follow the bearing you
input in this screen under Demonstration COG.
Demonstration SOG: causes the CDU to simulate a speed
of up to 99 knots. Slower speeds of 5 to 25 knots provide
the best demonstration results.
Demonstration COG: causes the CDU to simulate a
course over ground of up to 359.9 degrees when Follow
is set to Rhumb Line.
To setup your course, load the desired waypoints into
RTE1. Notice that the CDU loads your point of departure
as N 00, W 000.
