PI line alignment
A PI line can be parallel to port or starboard of the heading line, or to the port or starboard
side of an EBL.
• If the stabilization is set to heading, the PI line rotates as the vessel heading change
• Parallel to EBL is a way to quickly set the bearing of a PI line parallel to the EBL in use. The
line does not rotate if the EBL is changed later.

EBL/VRM markers

The EBL/VRM markers are a basic tool for collision avoidance. They are used to mark any fixed
or moving radar target, and to measure distances between two objects.
The reference point of an EBL/VRM marker is by default positioned at the center of the vessel.
It is possible to offset the reference point to any selected position on the radar image to
measure the distance between two objects on the PPI, or to fix the marker to a target.
Two different EBL/VRMs can be placed on the radar image. They are identified as dashed
rings/lines with different colors to discriminate them from each other and from the fixed
range rings:
• EBM/VRM1 is cyan
• EBL/VRM2 is blue
The EBL presentation can be defined with true or relative presentation:
