Plot (Track Plot) View
If your separate Loran C, Decca or GPS receiver has the
proper NMEA 0183 Version 2.0 non-differential output
capability, or if you own the
Interphase Star Pilot GPS,
Pilot GPS or Interphase Pilot Loran, you can easily
interface the unit to the
Sea Scout to show both digital
and graphic navigation information. Possible information
obtained from a navigation receiver can include track
plotting and digital Lat/Lon readings. The
Sea Scout can
also instantly mark positions with several different
graphic symbols. These functions will not work unless
you are able to successfully interface a navigational
instrument such as a Loran C, Decca or GPS receiver to
the
Sea Scout.
From the
Command Center select the "Plot View" and
press the "
GO" soft key to bring up the menu showing the
features and adjustments for this view.
Range
The "
RANGE" soft key calls up the sub-menu which lets
you turn on and off an automatic plot ranging function by
pressing the soft key labeled "
TRACK". This feature
will, for example, automatically increase the track plot
range if your position goes off the screen. You can
manually adjust the plotter range by using the "
Range"
up/down soft keys in this sub-menu.
The Track Plot square on the display shows the current
plotter range (1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128) in
statute (U.S.) or nautical miles, depending on the units of
measurement selected.
Mark
Pressing the "
MARK" soft key allows you to mark your
current position on the track plot screen with one of three
graphic icons - an anchor, a fish or a flag. Each icon can
be used up to ten times on a track plot for a total of 30
possible marks. When power is removed from the
Sea
Scout, the marks are erased.
