Chapter 1: Using the Display

Displaying information

Information is displayed in the following ways:
• System data - this is displayed using the Data Bar. This can be displayed horizontally
or vertically on the screen and can be configured to your preferences.
• Control data - this is displayed using dialog boxes which enable data to be entered
or edited, or by Message boxes which display information in a view only form, such
as an incoming DSC call, and cannot be edited.
• Data base lists - these are lists of items that have been created and stored, such as
waypoints. Items in the list can be edited.
• Menu lists - these display a range of options and let you change them.
• Application Status - data is displayed in the status bar that is permanently dis-
played at the top of each application window.
• Soft keys - these primarily allow you to navigate to particular functions, but some
are used to show a value or status.

1.4 The Simulator

The C-Series Display includes a simulator mode, which allows you to practice
operating your display without data from a GPS antenna, radar scanner or transducer.
The simulator mode is switched on/off in the System Setup Menu (see
