Radar section:
Cursor function – The cursor appears on the display as a small
symbol.
To activate the cursor, just press the cursor key. The cursor may now be
positioned by using the cursor key. When the cursor is set to a position on the
screen, the bearing and distance from ship’s position to cursor position will be
displayed in the top line of the screen. To turn off the cursor, press CLR.
When heading and valid position data is available, the chart cursor will be
synchronized to the radar cursor, and thus be controlled by the radar cursor in
the Radar & Chart display.
Off-Center mode - lets you position the origin of own ship to any point on the
screen within 66% of the radius of the display (the center 2/3 of the display).
The Off-Center mode permits the operator to obtain a longer view in the
direction of interest.
Overlay - live radar images shown in a separate layer directly on the chart
gives you full control in difficult situations. To activate the overlay will
require the following conditions: Valid position, valid heading information,
and Radar orientation mode must be in NU (North Up) or CU (Course up).
Short press on the [RADAR] key will toggle overlay on/off.
The overlay is disabled in orientation mode HU (Head Up), and can not be
activated from the ‘Radar & Chart’ display.
PLOT function – will require that a heading sensor (Gyro or Compass) is
connected to the CX34/44/54. If so, then you can plot the actual cursor posi-
tion on the radar display by pressing the [PLOT] key from the radar display,
and thereby save the position in the WP-list as a waypoint i.e. you can give the
plotted waypoint a new name/number, symbol, color, etc.
Relative motion Land, buoys and fixed objects move past own ship.
True motion – land, buoys and fixed objects remain stationary on the screen
while moving targets and own ship track across screen.
