Measuring Range and Bearing Between Two Targets

From the control unit w/keyboard
1. Operate the trackball to place the origin of the No. 1 EBL, for example, on a target of interest (target 1 in the
illustrated example).
2. Press the EBL OFFSET key.
3. Operate the EBL rotary control until the EBL passes through another target of interest (target 2).
4. Operate the VRM rotary control until the range marker on the EBL is on the inside edge of target 2. The active
VRM readout at the lower-right corner of the screen indicates the distance between the two targets.
You can repeat the same procedure on third and fourth targets by using the No. 2 EBL and the No. 2 VRM.
