3.1 Screen Stabilisation of the PPI: True Motion, Relative Motion
As far as the screen stabilisation of the PPI is concerned, there is a choice between the following:
True Motion (TM): The radar video is fixed; the own ship symbol moves across the screen. The PPI
orientation is North-Up or Course-Up. Either manually, or automatically by means of a TM Reset,
the own ship symbol on the PPI is reset in good time before the PPI boundary is reached; this reset-
ting is done in such a way that the larger part of the PPI lies ahead of own ship.
Relative Motion (RM): Own ship’s position is fixed; the radar video moves relative to own ship in accord-
ance with the movement of own ship. As far as the PPI orientation is concerned, it is possible to
choose between Head-Up, North-Up and Course-Up.
Switching Over between TM and RM
Clicking on the PPI stabilisation area causes a switch-over between
TM and RM.
☞ If the PPI orientation setting is Head-Up, then when switch-over
to TM mode takes place there is automatic selection of North-Up
and setting of the display of trails to "true". In TM mode, relative
trails cannot be displayed.
In RM mode, there is also an indication in the PPI stabilisation area stating whether the trails and
vectors are displayed as relative RM (R) or true RM (T).
Manual TM Reset
A TM reset is performed by clicking of the TM RESET area.
☞ The TM RESET area appears, instead of the CENTER area,
only when a switch-over to TM mode is performed.
