Parallel Index Lines
The Parallel Index (PI) Lines facility
allows multiple sets of parallel index lines
to be displayed simultaneously. Each set
may include up to fifteen lines. The lines
span the entire video circle, irrespective of
the range scale in use.
PI lines are available in all presentation
and motion modes.
Each PI line is defined by the range of its
closest point to own ship, its bearing, line
type and which side of the ship the line is
on.
To access PI lines left click on the
Parallel Index Lines
field from the Nav
Tools menu list. The PI Lines window includes the following three tab
folders:
Edit - where all PI line and PI set editing functions are done,
including adding a set or line, copying, deleting or renaming a set of
lines, or realigning a line or set of lines to own ship’s current heading.
Display - enables selection of one or more PI sets to be displayed on
the video circle.
I/O - where import and export of PI Line sets is done.
Multi-node Support
Sets of parallel index lines are saved and retrieved in a database, shared
between all nodes. The set of parallel index lines displayed on a particular
node may be specified independently for each node.
