Changing Control Mode - Simrad R5000 Operator's Manual

Master
A master control station has full control of a radar sensor.
There can be only one master for each sensor at a given time. A control station has to release
its master status before another control station can be set to master mode.
To release master control:
Change the status from the menu. Refer to "Changing control mode" on page 25
•
• Turn the radar sensor to standby mode from the brilliance pop-up
• Turn the control station to standby mode by pressing and holding the standby/brilliance
key
When a control station request master control of a radar sensor, the transfer will be pending
until the current master has released its master status. When master mode for the sensor is
available, the control will switch automatically.
If more than one control station request master control of a radar sensor, the control transfer
is decided according to the priority table defined during setup of the system.
Slave
A slave control station has restricted control of the radar sensor.
There can be max 3 slaves for each radar sensor simultaneously.
Slave mode limitations
A slave cannot access:
• Radar transmission controls
• Performance monitor
• Radar tuning
If a master is available for the same sensor, a slave has limitations for the following functions:
• Transmit ON and OFF: only possible if the sensor is set to transmit on the master control
station
• Radar range: the maximum radar range on a slave cannot exceed the range set on the
master control station
Ú Note:
The slave control station can disable its radar presentation by pressing the
standby/brilliance key on the O2000.
Clone
A clone control station mirrors a selected control station's display. A clone cannot control a
radar sensor.
If the console that is controlling the radar sensor is disconnected, the clone will lose the
connection to the radar sensor. The clone will have to manually select a new sensor.
There can be multiple clone stations for each control station simultaneously.
