Radar view options

Several radar view options are available from the View sub menu, activated by pressing the
View softkey.

Target trails and past position

You select how the radar targets are displayed on the radar image in the Trails and past
position sub menu. See "Display settings for radar targets" on page 25.

Radar orientation

Selected radar orientation is shown in the System information panel (A).
Head-up
In Head-up mode the heading line on the PPI is oriented on the 0° on the bearing scale and
towards the top of the screen. The radar image is displayed relative to own ship, and when
the ship turns the radar image rotates.
Note:
Head-up is only available in Relative motion mode, and it is the only orientation
mode available if the radar is not connected to a heading source.
North up
In North up mode the 0° indication on the PPI represents north. The heading line on the PPI
is oriented according to own ship heading obtained from the gyro compass. When the ship
turns the heading line changes its direction according to the ship's heading, while the radar
image remains stabilized.
The North up orientation is not available if no heading source is connected to the radar. If
heading data is lost, the system will automatically switch to Head-up orientation.
Course up
In Course up mode, the top of the bearing scale indicates the ship's true course measured
from north at the time Course up was activated. When the ship turns the bearing scale
remains fixed, while the heading line rotates with the ship's yawing and course change.
The Course up orientation is reset by re-selecting the Course up mode.

Radar motion mode

Selected radar motion mode is shown in the System information panel (B).
Relative motion
In Relative motion your vessel remains in a fixed location on the Radar PPI, and all other
objects move relative to your position.
You select the position of the fixed location as described in "Offsetting the PPI center" on page 22.
