3.5.7    Switch Bearing Display Mode [AZI MODE] 
 
Select the azimuth for the radar video to be displayed of the display. 
 
The bearing display mode is switched in the  sequence of [NORTH UP] (true bearing), [HEAD  UP]  (relative 
bearing), and [COURSE UP] (course-up bearing) each time [AZI MODE] key is pressed. 
The indication at the upper left of the radar display changes in sequence of    HUP    o NUP o CUP . 
 
*  Software  button  ո  located  at  the  top  left  corner  of  the  radar  display  described  in  Section  2.3.1  is  also 
available to switch the radar bearing display. 
 
 
True Bearing Mode [North Up] 
 
The video is displayed so that the zenith of the PPI (0q on range rings) points to the due north.    Fixed 
targets do not flicker and are easily identified on the chart, and the true bearing of a target can easily 
be read out. 
 
 
Relative Bearing Mode [Head Up] 
 
The video is displayed so that the ship’s heading line points to the zenith of the PPI (0q on range 
rings).    Since targets are displayed in their directions relative to the ship’s heading line, the operator 
can view the video in the same field of view as in operating the ship at sea.    This mode is suitable for 
watching over other ships. 
 
 
Course-up Bearing Mode [Course Up] 
 
By pressing [AZI MODE] key, the own ship’s course is fixed pointing to the zenith of the PPI (0q on 
range rings) points to the due north.    In the same way as in the North-up mode, fixed targets do not 
flicker, and are stabilized even if the ship is yawing.    The bearing of the heading line varies by the 
same shift of own ship’s course.    To change the course, press [AZI MODE] key several times to 
select the Course-up mode, and set a new course.
