Determination of the Data

RNG, BRG, SPD and CSE are determined directly by the radar from the observed motion and the relative

position, taking account of own ship’s data in some cases. Assuming that the course and speed of the

target and of own ship will continue to have the values displayed, the TCPA, CPA, BCT and BCR are

computed.

7.7 Target Labels

Every target being tracked is automatically given an identification number from 1 to 50. This target label

can be displayed at the target symbol in the PPI. You can select whether the target label is to be

displayed automatically for new targets. Furthermore, it is possible to specify for each individual target

whether the target label is to be displayed.

Regardless of this setting, the target label appears at the target symbol in the PPI as soon as its target

data are displayed in the side strip.

☞ The allocation of the number cannot be influenced. The program ensures that no number is allocated

twice.

Instead of the number, it is also possible to use an individual text with up to 4 characters.

Switching the Automatic Display of the Target Label On and Off

The automatic display of the target label in the case of new targets

is switched on and off by clicking on the TGT LABEL button in the

USER SETTINGS menu.

Switching the Display of the Target Label of a Target On and Off

Switching on: Click on the target by means of the MORE key, and

then click on SHOW LABEL (with the DO key).

Switching off: Click on the target by means of the MORE key, and

then click on HIDE LABEL (with the DO key).

Inputting a Text as a Target Marker

In the target data display, click on the ID and enter the text by means

of the virtual keyboard.

☞ If the text is to be deleted again, after clicking on the ID click on

the ENTER button of the virtual keyboard.
