149 Chapter 11: Radar
Tracking a target with a VRM or EBL
You can tell which direction an object is travelling in by tracking its
movement in relation to the EBL. If it continues travelling towards
the EBL, it could be on a collision course with your boat.
To create a VRM or an EBL
1. Press the VRM/EBL softkey.
2. Toggle to ON with the VRM/EBL softkey.
3. To adjust settings, press either the ADJUST VRM or ADJUST
EBL softkey and make changes with the rotary controller.
To place a second VRM or EBL
1. Press the SET UP VRM/EBL 2 softkey.
2. Proceed as with VRM/EBL 1.
Floating VRM and EBL
The VRM/EBL float function allows you to measure range and
bearing between any two points on the radar screen (rather than
from your vessel’s position).
First you move the VRM/EBL centre to the position you want to
measure from. Then you change the radius of the VRM to measure
distance, or change the angle of the EBL to take a bearing.
To use floating VRM
1. Create a standard VRM.
2. Highlight the VRM or press the VRM/EBL softkey.
3. Press the FLOATING VRM softkey.
4. Press the ADJUST FLOAT softkey.
5. Move the cursor to the point to measure from.
6. Press OK.
7. Move the cursor to the point to measure to.
8. The range between the two points is shown on the ADJUST
VRM softkey label.
To use floating EBL
1. Create a standard EBL.
2. Highlight the EBL or press the VRM/EBL softkey.
3. Press the ADJUST EBL softkey.
4. Adjust the direction and start point of the EBL using the
trackpad and rotary controller.
5. The bearing is shown on the ADJUST EBL softkey label.
To use a second floating VRM or EBL
1. Press SET UP VRM/EBL 2.
2. Toggle VRM/EBL 2 to ON.
3. Repeat the steps for using a floating VRM (steps 1-8).
To unfloat a VRM or EBL
1. Press the VRM/EBL softkey.
2. Press the FLOATING EBL softkey (under SET UP VRM/EBL 2
if you are using a second floating VRM or EBL).
3. Select CENTER.
4. Press OK.
