OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

1.1

General

The Video Plotter RP-340 is an optional circuit board (RP board) which is
accommodated in the display unit of the FR-2805/FAR-2805 series radar. It
permits use of two memory cards, a memory card (RAM card) for storing own
ship and other ship's tracks and marks, and the other is a digital chart card
(ROM card).
With connection of an AIS (Universal Automatic Identification System)
transponder to the RP board, the RP-340 provides navigation data about targets
which carry an AIS transponder.
25 nav lines may be stored and each line may contain up to 30 waypoints. Five
nav lines may be simultaneously shown on the display. 97 waypoints are
available. The user may enter position data in waypoints 01-97. Own ship and
other ship tracks may be stored at a selected interval.
Charts are superimposed on the radar picture without disturbing the radar
observation. The chart area is dependent on the radar range in use.
Note: The example screens shown in this manual may not match the screens
you see on your display. The screen you see depends on your system
configuration and equipment settings.
