Chapter 6: Further Chart Operations

6.7 Data Log Mode

You can set the chartplotter to log course data every thirty minutes. Up to 48 log
entries are held, when 48 entries have been made, the chartplotter will start
overwriting the first entries.
You start the log using soft keys provided in Data Log Mode. When you select
Data Log Mode the log is displayed full-screen. If the screen is full, you use the
trackpad to scroll the list and view further log entries. Each line in the log
shows:
• Time of log entry
• Position at time of log entry
• Course Made Good (CMG) since last log entry
• Distance Made Good (DMG) since last log entry
Once you have enabled the data log, you can use the DISPLAY key to change
full-screen mode; data continues to be logged, but you must change to Data Log
Mode to view it.
You can stop the log at any time and you can clear the log from memory.
➤ To activate Data Log Mode:
1. Press DISPLAY, the DISPLAY pop-up is shown.
2. Press DISPLAY again, until LOG is selected, then press ENTER.
➤ To start recording log entries:
Press the START LOG soft key. As shown in the following illustration, the
chartplotter records the time and vessels position. Every thirty minutes the
time, new position, distance made good and course made good are
recorded.
The START LOG soft key changes to STOP LOG.
