1.7.2 Description of presentation modes
Head-up mode
The head-up mode is a display in which the line connecting own ship and the top of the display
indicates own ship's heading.
The target pips are painted at their measured distances
and in their directions relative to own ship's heading.
A short line on the bearing scale is the north marker indi-
cating heading sensor north. A failure of the heading
sensor input will cause the north marker to disappear
and the readout to show ***.* and the message SIGNAL
MISSING appears in red at the lower-right corner of the
screen.
