Chapter 5: Setting Up the Chartplotter
Language
Select the language in which you wish information to be displayed. The
selected language will be used for screen text, labels, menus and
options, but will not affect the letters displayed by the context-sensitive
cursor. The language setting also affects the display format for lat/long
position information. Chart text, provided by the chart card, is not
affected.
Simulator
The simulator allows you to operate your chart or combined chart/radar
display without data from external data sources. The options have the
following functions:
• Data provides simulated numerical data. When the display unit is
switched on, the vessel is positioned at the cursor and can be
controlled by functions such as follow and goto.
• Radar on a combined radar/chartplotter, provides a simulated radar
picture, with example targets. The picture does not change if you
change the range, although the range rings are adjusted .
• Both on a combined radar/chartplotter, provides simulated data and
radar picture.
Note: On a radar master display, you cannot view a simulated image
whilst the scanner is in transmit mode.
If you switch the simulator on during transmit mode, the scanner is set to
standby, and you will be unable to re-select transmit mode until the
simulator is switched off.
Note: The simulated data over-rides any real data that your display unit
is receiving from externally connected equipment.
When the simulator is switched on, a SIMULATOR data box is displayed
during operation, showing the simulation selected.
