TARGET TRACKING. . . GAIN. . . ENHANCE ECHOES. . . PRESENTATION. . . Typically your boat's position is at the centre of the display, and its dead ahead bearing is indicated by a vertical heading line, known as the Ship's Heading Marker (SHM). Remember that the radar picture may vary from visual observations that you make; a nearby small object may appear the same size on the screen as a distant large object. However, with experience the approximate size of different objects can be determined by the relative size and brightness of the echoes. How do I measure distances, ranges and bearings with the radar? VRMs Align a VRM on a target to display its range from your boat: e. g. ADJUST VRM 1. 800nm EBLs Align an EBL on a target to display its bearing relative to your boat's heading: e. g. ADJUST EBL 30. 00S Combined VRM/EBL Combine a VRM and EBL to measure range and bearing of specified target. e. g. ADJUST VRM 1. 800nm ADJUST EBL 30. 00S Rings 1/2nm Range rings Use the range rings to gauge the approximate distances between two points or from your boat. Note: Range/bearing also displayed when VRM/EBL selected with the cursor. ?More information . . . D6731-3 See the 'Using the Radar' chapter of the Reference Manual What is around me? Using MARPA. . . . Card No. 15 MONITOR IN ZONES ACQUIRE TARGET MARPA & AIS OPTIONS MARPA LIST AIS LIST What is MARPA? Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions are used for target tracking and risk analysis. MARPA improves your standards of collision avoidance by obtaining detailed information for up to 10 targets, and provides continuous and rapid situation evaluation. MARPA tracks the selected targets and calculates target bearing, range, true speed, course, Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). Each tracked target can be displayed with a CPA graphic depicting the approximate target speed (vector length) and course (vector direction). Alternatively, move the cursor over the target to display the range and CPA. NOTE: For MARPA to operate, fast heading data is required. How do I set up the MARPA functions? TARGET TRACKING. . .

What is around me? Using AIS Card No. 16 AIS VECTOR ON OFF AIS DATA AUTO ON OFF VIEW FULL AIS DATA What is AIS? AIS uses digital radio signals to broadcast `realtime' information between vessels and shore based stations via dedicated VHF frequencies. This information is used to identify and track vessels in the surrounding area and to provide collision avoidance data. AIS will augment your radar application, as it can operate in radar blind spots. In order to use the AIS feature, you will need a GPS and compass for timing and position information together with data from a suitable AIS receiver. AIS target symbols Sleeping target Target not activated, dangerous or lost. Vector line (optional) shows predicted distance travelled within given time.
