Advanced measurements
Using both Electronic Bearing Lines (EBL) and both
Variable Range Markers (VRM), the following ad-
vanced measurements can be made:

the two targets. The EBL2 readout shows the
direction from one target to the other.

Push [TRAILS]/[
] (p. 11) to turn ON the
TRAILS function; then wait until the trail time count
up reaches to the TRAIL TIME.
w
Set VRM1 and EBL1 to a previously plotted target
as described above.
e
Set VRM2 and EBL2 to the current plotted position
of the same target, as described above.
r
The VRM2 readout is a measure of target move-
ment which can be converted into relative target
speed.
• For example, when a 6 minute trail time is selected,
multiplying the distance by ten gives the relative aver-
age speed of the target.
• If your ship is stationary during the plotting time, the
converted speed and direction become absolute.
• The converted speed unit is knots or kilometers/hour
when the selected unit in the FUNCTION menu is nau-
tical miles (NM) or kilometers (KM), respectively.
t
The EBL2 readout shows the course direction of
the target.
•
Measuring the distance and course from a waypoint
q
Display a waypoint. (See page 12)
w
Set VRM1 and EBL1 to the displayed waypoint
targets as described above.
e
Set VRM2 and EBL2 to a target (e.g. the next
waypoint) as described on page 14.
r
The VRM2 readout shows the distance to the
target from the waypoint.
• The distance unit can be selected as nautical miles
(NM) or kilometers (KM) in the FUNCTION menu.
t
The EBL2 readout shows the direction to the target
from the waypoint.
