6.5 Parallel Index Lines
There are four parallel index lines available, which can be adjusted individually.
Switching Parallel Index Lines On and Off
The parallel index lines can be switched on and off individually by
clicking on their number displayed below PI.
☞ When you switch the parallel index lines on, they appear in
the form in which they were set last. If the display range has
been reduced in the meantime, they might be situated
outside the visible range.
Changing the Distance of a Parallel Index Line
Click on the parallel index line near the closest point of approach to own ship, drag it to the desired
distance, and click again.
Changing the Bearing of a Parallel Index Line
Click on the parallel index line near the compass rose, drag it into the desired direction, and click it again.
Displaying Values of a Parallel Index Line
While the parallel index line is being operated on the PPI, its data
appear in a dialog box:
INDEX LINE Number of the index line
RANGE Distance from own ship (at the closest point of
approach)
BEARING Bearings (direction and opposite direction) of the index
line
Switching the Bearing Display of the Parallel Index Lines to Rela-
tive or True
The display of the bearings of the parallel index lines can be switched
over between true bearing (indicated by T) and relative bearing (indi-
cated by R).
The switch-over is performed by clicking on the indication T or R.
☞ If the compass signal fails, the display is automatically switched to
relative bearing (R).
