Simulator
The simulator enables operation of the RC400 without data from external
sources. The options are
ON
or
OFF
.
When
ON
is selected the simulator generates position, SOG and COG
data and uses the simulated data instead of any real data. A flashing
SIM
status indicator is displayed in the left hand corner of the Status Bar at the
top of the screen.
Note: The simulated data overrides any real data that the display unit is
receiving from externally connected equipment.
The position is initially the position of the cursor when the simulator is
switched on and the SOG and COG are as selected by the user. The
position is updated to reflect the SOG and COG. See
Simulated SOG and
Simulated COG below.
If a GOTO or Follow is started, the simulator does not use the selected
value of COG but, instead, generates a value of COG that simulates the
navigation function in progress. When GOTO or Follow is stopped, the
user selected value of COG is used.
Simulated SOG
Use horizontal movements of the trackpad to adjust the value of
SOG
which is adjustable in 1 knot intervals from 00 to 99.
The Default value is zero and the selected value is retained on power
down.
If the simulator is switched
OFF
, the value is shown as dashes and no
adjustment is possible.
Simulated COG
Use horizontal movements of the trackpad to adjust the value of
COG
which is adjustable in 1° intervals from 000° to 359°. It wraps around
from 000 to 359 and from 359 to 000.
The Default value is zero and the selected value is retained on power
down.
If the simulator is switched
OFF
, the value is shown as dashes and no
adjustment is possible.
