Displaying Direction Indicators

Direction Indicators let you know the approximate pointing direction of the dome in
relation to an established point called "North". Directions for setting the North Position are
covered in Chapter 4: Configuring Alarms, Areas, Home, Privacy Settings, Presets and Scan
Limits.
When enabled, the Direction Indicators appear along the top edge of the display. In addition, a
tilt elevation indicator also appears along the left edge of the display. The value of the tilt
elevation indicator is relative to the "virtual horizon" of 0° tilt. By default, the display of
Direction Indicators is disabled.
Figure 62 illustrates the locations of the Direction Indicators on the display.
