When the cursor is active the ENT key is used for managing targets.

Target tracking

When the cursor is active, you can use the ENT key for acquiring radar targets.
• Press the ENT key once to aquire the target at cursor position without displaying the
Cursor ENTER menu
• Press and hold the ENT key to display the Cursor ENTER menu.
The items in the Cursor ENTER menu depends on if a target is positioned at the cursor
position, the type of target, and the status of the target.
No target at cursor position
See more details about Radar targets and AIS target in "Managing targets" on page 24.

Selecting speed source and stabilization mode

Speed information can be obtained from different speed sources connected to the system.
You can at any time switch the preferred primary speed source to any of the available speed
sensors from the Speed source menu.
The stabilization mode depends on selected speed source, and the system will automatically
switch to the available stabilization mode when you switch speed source.
The table shows stabilization modes available for each speed source type. Any restrictions for
a source are detailed under each speed source description in the following sections.
Speed source
Speed LOG (Single axis)
Speed LOG (Dual axis)
EPFS
Primary speed source (A), secondary speed source (B) and stabilization mode (C) are shown
in the Own ship information panel.
Speed LOG
The speed LOG can be Single or Dual axis input, either water track or bottom track. Therefore
the stabilization mode available can be either Sea or Ground depending on the sensor in use.
Note:
The speed through water measured close to the hull is affected by the tide and by
the current, so from time to time it will differ significantly from speed over the ground. A
Speed Log measuring speed through water may in specific cases be affected by poor
conditions due to e.g. air or ice below the sensor. If the sensor measures only the
longitudinal component of the speed, the transversal ship component is unknown to
the radar.
EPFS
The EPFS provides True Speed and True Course Over Ground.
