Introduction
Chapter 4: Integrated Radar Operations
4.1 Introduction
This chapter explains how to use and display non-radar information that may
be available from other units connected to your system. It also explains how to
use the man overboard (MOB) function.
You can use this chapter with the radar display set to simulator mode, or on the
water after you have installed and set up your HSB Series Pathfinder Radar
system.
In order to use these functions, you need the following additional data from
equipment connected to your system via a SeaTalk, NMEA or HSB link:
*If heading data is available via both NMEA and SeaTalk, NMEA data takes priority. For all other data,
SeaTalk data takes priority (see
Section 8.8 ).
This chapter covers the following topics, see also Chapter 2 for information
on HSB displays:
• Changing the heading mode of the radar picture
• Using marks
• Man Overboard (MOB)
• Cursor echo
Note: Until you are familiar with interpreting the radar display, you should
take every opportunity to compare the radar’s display patterns with visual
targets, such as other vessels, buoys and coastal structures. You should prac-
tice harbour and coastal navigation during daylight and in clear weather con-
ditions.
