TCPA (Time to CPA):
The time required for a target reaching CPA.
CRS (Course):
The course of a target plotted is shown. The course can be switched to true or relative
by pressing the TRUE/REL key.
SPD (Speed):
The true speed of a plotted target, can be switched to true or relative by pressing the
TRUE/REL key.
VECT (Vector):
The vector time of a plotted target.
BRG (Bearing):
The bearing of a target, plotted in true or relative mode. The bearing display is
referenced to own ship.
DIST (Distance):
The distance of a target plotted from own ship.
UNRELIABLE PLOT DATA:
A warning that means the assigned target plot is old and not reliable, suggesting you
to update the plotting. When this display is shown, an audio alarm is activated. If you
leave the plot not updated for 15 minutes after the alarm, all symbols and data
currently plotted will be deleted.
LIMIT CPA TCPA
This is a warning limit of CPA and TCPA. If the CPA and TCPA figures exceed the set
up limit the assigned warning symbols flash and the audio alarm sounds. For set up
procedures refer to Para 6.1.17. If the TCPA value exceeds 99.9 minutes the “+
h
+
MIN” will be indicated. If the TCPA value is less than –99.9 minutes the -
h
- sign
appears.
6.1.16.6 VECT TIME (Selecting the Vector Time)
This function is used to set up the length of the vector time. Use the following
procedure for set up.
(1) Set the vector time by highlighting VECTOR TIME and press the ENT key.
