Step 4 Press the INACTIVE button for changing to the ACTIVE
situation. The actual SPD, CRS CHG, DELAY and RADIUS
values appear. For changing the values, press and hold the left

The readouts show acquired targets (ID no.) with their
CPA/TCPA values. The readouts are classified in TRIAL DATA
and ACTUAL DATA.
The TRIAL DATA readout displays the possible close range
situation during the TRIAL manoeuvre in combination with the
acquired targets (ID no.).
The ACTUAL DATA readout displays the actual situation in
combination with the acquired targets (ID no.).
Step 5 Press the CNTDWN button for starting the countdown.
The DELAY time counts down in second steps (DELAY time

by a relevant manoeuvre before the DELAY time is executed.
Exit the TRIAL MANOEUVRE by pressing the EXIT button.
Result:
When a trial manoeuvre is added, the trial course (CSE)
identifies the new heading and is able to show potential collision
points. Trial speed (SPD) changes the potential collision points
and the higher the selected speed the more PCPs will be in the
vicinity of the tracked ships. A trial manoeuvre and PCPs are a
way to view the advantages of a change in speed. The time
changes (DELAY) allow the operator to check the trial course
history in the future situation.
The countdown (CNTDWN) allows the operator to observe the
possible close range situation in real time.
