2.13 Measurement of bearing by EBL
This feature is used for measuring the bearing of the target from the base point (reference point for
default value.) Two electronic bearing lines [EBL1] and [EBL2] are provided.
Turn EBL/VRM knob (MDC-5200 series) or EBL knob (MDC-5500 series) and lay each bearing line on
the desired target and read the bearing on the display.
[Bearing mode] can be changed directly in the lower left of the display, by cursor and ENT key, without
using menu function.

The bearing value to the target is indicated at the lower left of the display, and a symbol
displayed on the left side of the bearing value.

The bearing value changes at the same time and you can read the bearing of the target.
