3.2 Man Machine Interface (MMI)
As mentioned previously, serious efforts have been put into developing the “best in class” MMI. The
SAILOR RT5022 is a work tool, and it is important that the users find it easy to use - also in critical or
hasty situations.
The SAILOR RT5022 has two displays separating the main standard VHF functions from the DSC and
setting functions. This simplifies the usage, and the important information as e.g. channel, volume and
output power is presented to the end user at a quick glance. The primary functions are direct adjustable
by one function knob, e.g. knob for volume, knob for squelch, and channels can be selected direct from
the keypad.
All the prioritised buttons are larger than seen before on a SAILOR VHF, and the less prioritised buttons
are smaller. The most frequently used functions - the volume and the squelch - are operated by knobs
with tactile steps. The level of these two functions is indicated in the 7-segment display by two bars.
The menu has been thoroughly developed and tested by users in order to ensure an understandable and
intuitive menu. All menu lines have a number and can be chosen by quick selection (simply press the
number of the menu you want to access).
3.3 Displays
As mentioned previously there are two displays: The 7-segment display on top, which indicates all the
primary VHF functions, and the graphic display below for DSC and less used settings. All text and
indicators are red, which ensures that the VHF does not disturb the night vision on the bridge. This is also
ensured by the dimming function. The 7-segment display is designed to provide the operator a quick
overview of the VHF function, e.g. the channel chosen.
The 7-segment display is designed to be readable from very wide angles, allowing the user to read the
display from almost any angle. The graphic display is also easy to read from wide angles. A glass in front
of the displays includes a Marine AR filter that reduces the reflections from the sun and other lights that
may make the display less readable or be annoying to the user.
