Range Circles
The Range Circles act as a visual guide to show the distance between the vessel and the
detected target. Distances are shown in metres from the target. Use the Zoom Control to
change the scale of the display. (See page 12).
Radial Markers
These form an angular scale in degrees, clockwise around the circumference of the BEV.
Zero is defined by the direction of the bow of the vessel.
Bearing Tags
The bearing tag is displayed on the Radial Marker when the system is in tracking mode,
to indicate the bearing of the target. The visibility of this element depends on the which
coordinate system is being used to display the positional information (see
Positional
Display Modes
on page 25).
Data Logging Indicator
This symbol is displayed when data is being logged to disk on the RangeGuard Monopole
Processing Unit. During a tracking operation the symbol is steady and when manual
logging is in progress it flashes.
Zoom Control
Click on the left-hand side of the control (marked ‘-’) to zoom out of the BEV display and
on the right-hand side (‘+’) to zoom in.
Status Display
This consists of two fields:
Primary
The primary part of the status display is in the upper-right corner of the Main Pane. It
indicates the current status of the system:
•
System Running Normally
•
System Disconnected
•
Waiting for connection
•
Communications Lost
•
Communications Error
Secondary
The secondary status display is located in the lower right corner of the Main Pane (beneath
the zoom function) and is normally hidden. It displays a flashing message for a number of
seconds in order to confirm an action taken by the user, e.g. starting manual data logging.
It can also display a persistent, static message if there is a communications problem.
Vessel Name
The name of the vessel configured on the Vessel tab of the RangeGuard Service Interface
(see Installer’s Guide).
