In the Situation Display, the own ship symbol and the target symbols are displayed at the correct posi-
tions in north-up display mode. The target symbols each indicate the heading of the target (ship). The
own ship symbol is always situated at the centre of the display. For details, see Section 3.1.
After switch-on, the Target Data Display first shows the own ship data. It is then possible to display the
data received from each target, one target at a time; for details, see Section 3.2.
☞ The target data are transferred at defined time intervals. The interval between transfers depends on
the speed and rate of turn of the target: for the data from which the DCU generates the target
symbols, the interval lies between 2 seconds (the target speed exceeding 23 kt) and 3 minutes
(when lying at anchor).
Setting the range: With the left-hand key of the keys situated under the display, set the desired range
(1.5, 3, 6, 12 or 24 NM) by pressing that key (several times if necessary). The radius of the outer Range
Ring corresponds to the set value.
2.3 Menu and Dialogs
The default information displayed on the DCU consists of the Situation Display and the Target Data
Display. All other data displays and operating procedures take place in the various dialogs which can be
operated via the menu.
☞ The menu covers the Target Data Display; dialogs take up the entire display area.
Showing a dialog: By pressing the MENU key, switch on the menu; in the menu, mark the desired dialog
by means of the ArrowUp/ArrowDown keys, and press the ENTER key.
Switching off the dialog display: This is done in different ways in the various dialogs, depending upon
whether data inputs can take place in the dialogs or whether only pure displays are involved.
In addition to these specific methods described in the following sections, a dialog can always
1)
be
switched off by pressing the MENU key. Dialogs in which data inputs are possible are aborted by this
action, i.e. data that have been entered are not taken over.
