Mark Or Event - Leica MX400 Operating Instructions Manual

Mark or Event

Mark or Event
This function key stores your present position, date and time at the
next available waypoint location in the Waypoint Bank. A window
pops up on the screen to confirm your key depression, and to tell
you where the Mark position is being stored. You can go into the
WPT menu and edit the coordinates or description later. This key
function is disabled for 2 seconds after each depression.
The cross-hair (⊕) symbol to the left of the date in the Waypoint
Bank indicates that the Mark or Event key created this waypoint.
Note that you can also select the cross-hair (⊕) symbol from the
various symbols for other waypoints when editing waypoints.
The receiver is also capable of performing this function from a
remote contact closure input via pins 6 and 11 on the 31 pin
connector. Refer to the Installation &Service Manual for interface
instructions. Contact closure on the two input pins for less than 2
seconds causes a Mark position to be generated. Contact closure on
the two input pins for longer than 2 seconds causes a Man Over
Board condition to be generated.
Note: The marker stores the position of the
antenna location. Keep this in mind if you
are trying to pinpoint items such as buoys,
crab pots, etc. For some special applica-
tions such as these, you may need to
locate the antenna at the point on the boat
or ship where you need to make this exact
measurement. For example, you may need
to locate the antenna on the end of a boom
arm used to raise and lower these special
devices.
