Engineering Display: This enables an expanded series
of display screens in some of the functions. In general,
these screens are used by the technician during trouble-
shooting or by SIMRAD engineers during development
testing. Screens which are relevant for troubleshooting
are described in Installation section of this manual. The
default setting is No. If you should enable these screens,
the receiver will automatically turn them off the next
time power is cycled on the unit.
Demonstration Mode: This enables the receiver to func-
tion as though you are under way, even though you are
completely stationary. The default setting is No. When
set to Yes, all three Traffic Lights will be illuminated,
and a D symbol is displayed in the upper right corner of
every display. Generally speaking, this feature is used by
SIMRAD and your dealer for show room or trade show
demonstrations. However, you can use it as a training
tool until you become familiar with the receiver. As a
safety feature, you can not use it to output NMEA 0183
records on the data ports to test and demonstrate other
devices such as autopilots, chart plotters, and radars.
Refer to Appendix E of this manual for a full description
of the Demonstration Mode.
Organizer - Automated Message Reminders
This screen enables you to program the receiver with up
to 25 different message reminders (up to 30 characters
in length). You can program it to alarm for shift changes,
log entry intervals, medication intervals, weather fax
updates, etc.
When the Organizer alarm is activated, the voltage on
the Alarm Output Port is also activated. If you have
other devices connected to this port, you might need to
consider what other systems will be affected when the
alarm sounds. SIMRAD offers an External Alarm control
software option. Check with your dealer or SIMRAD for
details on this software package.
