Selecting the radar source
You specify the radar in the Radar panel by selecting one of the available radars in the radar
source menu option. If you have a multiple Radar panel, the radar is set individually for each
radar panel. Activate one of the radar panels, and then select one of the available radars in
the radar source menu option. Repeat the process for the second radar panel, and select an
alternative radar for this panel.
Ú
Note: The 3-digit radar source number is the last 3 digits of the radar's serial number.
Radar overlay
You can overlay the Radar image on the Chart. This can help you to easily interpret the radar
image by correlating the radar targets with charted objects.
Ú
Note: A heading sensor must be present in the system for radar overlay.
When the radar overlay is selected, basic radar operational functions are available from the
Chart panel’s menu.
Selecting radar overlay source on chart panels
To select the radar source of the radar overlay displayed on the chart panel, use the Radar
options and then Source chart panel menu options to select the radar source.
For chart pages with more than one chart with radar overlay, it is possible to set up different
radars sources for each chart panel. Activate one of the chart panels and then select one of
the available radars in the radar source menu option. Repeat the process for the second chart
panel with radar overlay, and select an alternative radar for this panel.
