Plot (Track Plot) View; Range; Mark - Interphase Proble Operation Manual

Plot (Track Plot) View

If your separate Loran C, Decca or GPS receiver has the
proper NMEA 0183 (version 2.0 non-differential) output
capability, or if you own the Interphase Star Pilot GPS,
Pilot GPS or Interphase Pilot Loran, you can easily
interface the unit to the Probe to show both digital and
graphic navigation information. Information obtained
from a navigation receiver can includetrack plotting and
digital Lat/Lon readings. The Probe can also mark
positions with several different graphic symbols. These
functions will not work unless you are able to
successfully interface a navigational instrument such as a
Loran C, Decca or GPS receiver to the Probe.
From the Command Center select the "Plot View" and
press the "GO" soft key to bring up the menu showing the
features and adjustments for this view.

Range

The "RANGE" soft key calls up the sub-menu which lets
you turn on and off an automatic plot ranging function by
pressing the soft key labeled "TRACK". This feature
will, for example, automatically increase the track plot
range if your position goes off the screen. You can
manually adjust the plotter range by using the "RANGE"
up/down soft keys in this sub-menu.
The Track Plot square on the display shows the current
plotter range (1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128) in
statute (U.S.) or nautical miles, depending on the units of
measure selected.

Mark

Pressing the "MARK" soft key allows you to mark your
current position on the track plot screen with one of three
graphic icons - an anchor, a fish or a flag. Each icon can
be used up to ten times on a track plot for a total of 30
possible marks. When power is removed from the Probe,
the marks are erased.
