Chapter 6: Further Chart Operations
6.5 Cursor Echo
In a combined radar/chart display, or in a system with a radar display connected
via SeaTalk, you can set the display to enable cursor echo. Cursor echo
(accessed from System Set Up, described in Chapter 7) enables you to display a
radar cursor on the chart picture, or a chart cursor on the radar picture (you
cannot display a remote chart cursor in a chart window nor a remote radar
cursor in a radar window).
The following options are provided:
• Local cursor: echoes the cursor position between chart and radar windows
on a combined display.
• Remote Radar or Chart Cursor (SeaTalk): displays the cursor from a
radar or chart display connected via SeaTalk.
• Cursor Out: outputs the displays cursor(s) onto the SeaTalk bus.
When the appropriate option is switched on, the display shows its own cursor,
plus the cursor of the other display with appropriate cursor text (RDR or CHT) to
indicate its origin. This means that you could move the cursor over a target on
the radar display, and check the identity of the target by looking at the radar
cursor position on the chartplotter.
