Chapter 7: Setting Up the System Defaults
Cursor Echo
You can set up an integrated system so that radar and chartplotter displays
connected via SeaTalk can display each other's cursors.
Cursor echo functions so that you can display a chart cursor on the radar
picture, or a radar cursor on the chart picture (you cannot display a remote
radar cursor in a radar window nor a remote chart cursor in a chart window).
When the appropriate options are switched on, each display shows its own
cursor, plus the cursor of the other display with appropriate cursor text (RDR or
CHRT) to indicate its origin. This means that you could move the cursor over a
target on the radar display, and check the identity of the target by looking at the
radar cursor position on the chartplotter.
Press the CURSOR ECHO soft key to display the cursor transfer soft keys. The
following options can be toggled ON or OFF:
• Radar Cursor In: displays the cursor from another radar on the chart dis-
play or chart window (default - OFF).
• Chart Cursor In: displays the cursor from another or chartplotter on the
radar display or radar window (default - OFF).
Note: The remote display must have SeaTalk Cursor Out enabled.
• SeaTalk Cursor Out: enables the output, onto SeaTalk, of the display's
own cursor (default - OFF).
• Cursor Echo Local: echoes the cursor position between open windows on
the same display (default - ON).
If you set the options to OFF, no cursor echo information is displayed.

Date and Time Settings

Set your preferred date format (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY) and time
format (12 or 24 hour). If you wish to display local time, use the soft keys to
change from UTC to the required time offset. This can be up to plus or minus
12 hours, in hourly steps.

GPS SOG/COG Filter

The SOG/COG filter averages the velocity vectors to compensate for the
oscillating motion of the vessel, giving a clearer indication of the vessel's
course and speed. The filter does not affect the calculation of the GPS position.
The velocity vectors calculated from the GPS Signal give an instantaneous
measure of speed and direction of the GPS antenna. The COG and SOG can
therefore seem erratic under certain conditions. For example, when a vessel is
moving slowly through rough seas, the antenna moves from side to side as
well as in the direction of the vessel.
