Operating Instructions

3 PPI Settings

3.11 Setting the Display of Charts and User Chart Objects on the CHARTRADAR

b_r1_e21.fm / 21.06.02

Displaying Charts and User Chart Objects Temporarily on Top of the Radar Video

Normally, the radar video is displayed on top of the charts and the User Chart Objects, i.e. objects of the

charts and User Chart Objects can be covered over by the video.

If only the area contours are displayed (AREAS FILLED is

switched off), the charts and the User Chart Objects are

displayed on top of the video (i.e. completely) as long as the

VIDEO ON TOP button in the CHART menu is pressed (see

footnote 1 on page 43).

Defining the Symbol Presentation

For the symbols, it is possible to define whether they are to be displayed in the same way as in the paper

charts (PAPER CHARTS) or in a simplified form more suitable for the screen (SIMPLIFIED).

Setting: In the CHART menu, click on the SYMBOLS button and

then click on the desired presentation.

Specifying the Objects to be Displayed

The various objects contained in the vector chart (symbols, lines, areas, texts) are grouped to form

display groups. For the task of selecting the display groups that are to be displayed, IMO has defined the

categories Display Base and Display Standard. On the CHARTRADAR, it is possible to switch over

between these categories and the display of all objects contained ("category" ALL).

Switching Over between the Display Group Categories:

Click on the CHART button, and select the category by means of

the CATEGORY button.

☞ In order to ensure a clear display, the program switches

back to the category BASE or BASE + (see below) after

three minutes.

Displaying Additional Display Groups and Suppressing the Display of Display Groups

For each category, it is possible to define whether particular

display groups are to be displayed:

1. In the CHART menu, click on the VISIBILITY GROUPS

button.

2. In the list which then opens, the display of these display

groups can be switched on/off for the selected category by

clicking (the list can be scrolled).

☞ If, with the categories "Base" and "Standard", the display of

additional display groups is switched on, a plus sign

appears additionally in the CATEGORY button. If, with the

categories "Standard" and "All", the display of display groups

is suppressed, a minus sign appears additionally in the

CATEGORY button.
