Radar symbology
Radar symbology defined in the Radar Settings panel can be turned
on/off collectively. See the radar panel illustration showing optional
radar items.
Target trails
You can set how long the trails generated from each target on your
radar panel remain. You can also turn OFF target trails.
Ú Note:
True motion is recommended when using Target trails
Clearing target trails from the panel
When target trails are displayed on the panel, the radar menu
expands to include an option where you can clear target trails from
your radar panel temporarily. The target trails start to appear again
unless you switch them off as described above.
The radar palette
Different colors (palettes) can be used to represent detail on your
radar panel.
Radar orientation
Radar orientation is indicated on the upper left corner of the radar
panel as either HU (Heading UP), NU (North Up) or CU (Course up).
Head-up
In head-up mode, the heading line on the PPI is oriented on the 0°
on the bearing scale and towards the top of the screen. The radar
image is displayed relative to own ship, and when the ship turns the
radar image rotates.
Ú Note:
Head-up is only available in relative motion mode, and it
is the only orientation mode available if the radar is not
connected to a heading source.
North up
In North up mode the 0° indication on the PPI represents north. The
heading line on the PPI is oriented according to own ship heading
obtained from the compass. When the ship turns the heading line
changes its direction according to the ship's heading, while the
radar image remains stabilized.
