Echo Stretch; Navigation Data - Furuno FMD-1712 Operator's Manual

1.23 Echo Stretch

On long ranges target echoes tend to shrink
in the range direction, making them difficult
to see. On short and medium ranges such
as 1.5, 3 and 6 nm range scales, the same
sized targets get smaller on screen as they
approach own ship. To enhance target
video, use the echo stretch feature.

3. Select ON or OFF as appropriate.
4. Press the [MENU] key to register your
selection and close the menu.
ES appears at the top right-hand corner on
the screen when the echo stretch feature is
on.
Note 1: Echo stretch magnifies not only
small target pips but also returns
from sea surface, rain and radar
interference. For this reason, make
sure that these types of inter-
ference have been sufficiently
suppressed before activating the
echo stretch.
Note 2: Echo stretch is not available on the
ranges between 0.125 and 0.75
nautical miles. The indication ES is
highlighted on those ranges to
show that echo stretch is
inoperative.

1.24 Navigation Data

With navigation data input in NMEA 0183
format (IEC 61162-1), navigation data can
be displayed at the screen bottom.
Navigation data includes position, course,
speed, and range and bearing to destination
waypoint (if set on navaid). A waypoint is
shown on the remote display by a dashed
ring connected to the screen center (own
position) by a dashed line.
