Switching the VRM On and Off
The display of the VRM is switched on and off by clicking on the
desired VRM area.
☞ If the display range is reduced when the VRM is in the switched-
on state, the VRM might be situated outside the visible range. If
you switch the VRM off and then on again, it returns to the
visible range.
Setting the Distance
Click on the VRM graphics in the PPI, drag it to the desired distance (e.g. to the object whose range is
to be measured). The VRM is fixed by clicking again.
6.3 Electronic Bearing Lines (EBL’s)
The radar has two EBL’s, which can be adjusted independently of
one another. With these EBL's, the bearing of an object with respect
to own ship or the bearing between two objects can be determined.
An EBL that is switched on can be recognised from the fact that the
bearing is displayed in the left-hand EBL-area. An EBL that is
switched off is indicated by the word OFF in that area.
Switching the EBL On and Off
The display of the EBL is switched on and off by clicking on the
desired EBL data area.
Setting the Origin of the EBL
For the bearing with respect to own ship:
Select CENTER in the right-hand EBL-area.
For the bearing between two objects:
To set the EBL origin to a different position, in the PPI click on
the EBL origin and position it at the desired place by clicking.
In the right-hand EBL-area, select FIX ABS if the EBL origin is
to be at a fixed position, or select FIX REL if the EBL origin is to
move along together with own ship.
☞ The EBL remains intact even if the origin is situated outside the PPI. Switching on and off resets the
origin of the EBL to your own ship.
Setting the Bearing
Click on the EBL graphics in the PPI, set the desired direction, and fix it by clicking.
