5.11 CPA/TCPA Alarm
Set CPA (Closest Point of Approach) alarm range and TCPA (predicted Time to CPA)
alarm time to alert you when targets are on a collision course. When CPA and TCPA
of any AIS target (including a sleeping target) become less than the preset CPA and
TCPA alarm settings, the audio alarm sounds. The alarm message "COLLISION" ap-
pears. The target symbol changes to a dangerous target symbol (red) and flashes with
its vector. You can stop the audio alarm and flashing with any key. The dangerous tar-
get symbol is displayed until the AIS target is not in the CPA and TCPA alarm setting
