2.9 Displaying Target Data

The Auto Plotter calculates motion trends
(range, bearing, course, speed, CPA and
TCPA) of all plotted targets.
In head-up and head-up true bearing
modes, target bearing, course and speed
shown in the upper-right target data field
become true (suffix "T") or relative (suffix

"R") to own ship in accordance with the
true/relative vector setting. In north-up,
course-up and true motion modes, the
target data field always displays true bear-
ing, true course and speed over the
ground.
Place the cursor on a desired target and
press the TARGET DATA key on the plot-
ting keypad. Data on the selected target
is displayed at the upper-right corner of
the screen. A typical target data display
is shown in the illustration below.
RNG/BRG (Range/Bearing): Range and
bearing from own ship to the selected tar-
get with suffix "T" (True) or "R" (Relative).
CSE/SPD (Course/Speed): Course and
speed are displayed for the selected tar-
get with suffix "T" (True) or "R" (relative).
CPA/TCPA: CPA(Closest Point of Ap-
proach) is the closest range a target will
approach to own ship. TCPA is the time
to CPA. Both CPA and TCPA are auto-
matically calculated. When a target ship
has passed clear of own ship, CPA is pre-
fixed with an asterisk such as,
CPA*1.5NM. TCPA is counted to 99.9 min
and beyond this, it is indicate as
TCPA>*99.9MIN.
BCR/BCT: Bow crossing range is a range
of a target which will pass dead ahead of
own ship at a calculated distance. BCT is
the time when BCR occures.
RNG 3.4 NM
BRG 25.5°R
CSE 264.0°R
SPD 12.3 KT
RNG: Range from own ship
to target
BRG: Bearing from own ship
to target (true or relative)
CSE: Course of target
(true or relative)
SPD: Speed of target
CPA: CPA between own ship and
target
TCPA: TCPA between own ship
and target
BCR: Bow Cross Range
BCT: Bow Cross Time
