Cursor Reference
The mode of the bearing data displayed for the cursor readout. The bearing
information can be displayed in either of two forms:
• Relative: The bearing relative to your boat's heading.
• Mag/True: The actual bearing in either degrees magnetic or degrees true. This
option is only available in Radar mode if your system includes a radar display
and you have heading data from a compass.
If you choose this mode, the selection you made for the previous parameter
(Bearing Mode), °M or °T, is displayed in the cursor (Rng/Brg) data boxes. The
current units are shown for the heading value in the status bar at the top of the
screen.
Cursor Readout
This option controls whether radar cursor data is shown in latitude and longitude
or in range and bearing. Alternatively you can show both types of readout in
separate boxes or turn the cursor data box off.
You can also turn the cursor readout box(es) on and off during normal operation,
via the SCREEN default soft key.
Day/Night
This option enables you to change the display between day and night modes.
On a color LCD, NIGHT mode uses a different color palette, more suited to night
time viewing. The default setting is DAY.
For monochrome displays, the normal DAY presentation displays black targets on
a white background. If you select NIGHT, the picture is reversed, so that white
targets are shown on a black background to reduce the intensity of the image.
Help
When Help is set to ON, a prompt appears when selecting a soft key or menu
choice and when using the context-sensitive cursor. The help message is cleared
when an action is selected.
Soft Keys
When the Soft Keys option is set to ON, the default soft keys are displayed if no
other operation is in progress.
