VIDEO PLOTTER OPERATION

5.1

General

The video plotter
Plots own and other ships' tracks
Enters waypoints nav lines and marks
Records data onto memory cards (optional card interface required).
It uses two types of memory cards, a memory card (RAM card) for storing own
ship and other ship's tracks and marks, and a digital chart card (ROM card).
30 nav lines may be stored and each line may contain up to 30 waypoints. Five
nav lines may be simultaneously shown on the display. 200 waypoints are
available. Own ship and other ship tracks may be stored at a selected interval.
Charts are superimposed on the radar picture without disturbing the radar
observation. The chart area is dependent on the radar range in use.
Note that that neither chart nor target track are available on the IMO-type radar.
