4.1.4  Using Variable Range Marker (VRM1 / VRM2) 
 
Variable range markers (VRM) are indispensable to the measurement of ranges.    Operators must be 
familiar with the operation of VRM beforehand. 
The system is equipped with two VRM.    The VRM can be operated separately from each other. 
An intersection marker is displayed at the intersection point of the VRM and EBL of the same 
number. 
When the starting point of an EBL is offset, the center of the VRM is defined as the offset EBL 
starting point. 
 
Intersection markers shown on VRM: 
: EBL1, VRM1 
 
 
: EBL2, VRM2 
 
 
 
 
VRM Operation 
 
The range value of the current VRM1 or VRM2 on the PPI display is shown in the 
VRM1/2 range (upper right of the display on page 2-3).    The currently operable
