Using the cursor

The cursor can be used to measure a distance, to define various radar map elements, and to
acquire and select targets within the PPI area.
By default, the cursor is not active after power on.
To activate the cursor:
• Press one of the arrow keys
• Use the mouse to position the pointer inside the PPI area
When the cursor is active on the radar PPI, the cursor information area will show range and
bearing from the vessel to the cursor position. If the system is connected to a position source
(i.e. EPFS), the cursor information area includes the geographic position of the cursor.
To deactivate the cursor:
• Press the exit key
• Use the mouse to position the pointer outside the PPI area

Selecting speed source

Speed information can be obtained from different speed sources connected to the system.
At any time you can switch the preferred primary speed source to any of the available speed
sensors from the menu.
The stabilization mode depends on the selected speed source. The system will automatically
switch to the available stabilization mode when the speed source is changed.
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.
