Moving an Existing VRM/EBL
You can move an existing VRM/EBL using the context-sensitive cursor. You
can control the VRM and EBL separately or both together.
➤
Use the context sensitive cursor to select and move any VRM and/or EBL. If
you wish to change the VRM and EBL together, move the cursor over the
intersection of VRM/EBL. The label indicates the current object as
VRM
,
EBL
,
or
VRM/EBL.
See Moving and deleting items with the context-sensitive cursor
on page 1-10 .
Deleting an Existing VRM/EBL
➤
You can delete a VRM/EBL by using the
VRM/EBL
key to display the soft
keys, and pressing the required
VRM /EBL
soft key to toggle the setting from
ON
to
OFF
.
➤
Alternatively, you can delete an existing VRM/EBL using the context-
sensitive cursor as described in
Moving and deleting items with the context-
sensitive cursor on page 1-10
This has the same effect as turning the VRM/EBL off using the
VRM/EBL soft keys. It turns off the VRM/EBL pair, irrespective of the cursor
text: you cannot turn off VRMs and EBLs independently.
Measuring Range and Bearing Between Targets (FLOAT)
You can measure the range and bearing between any two points on the radar,
such as two targets, using the Pathfinder Plus Radar’s Float function. This
allows you to move the origin of a VRM/EBL away from your vessel’s
position and onto a target. You can then change the angle of the EBL, relative
to its new origin, to obtain the bearing between two points. The radius of the
VRM can also be adjusted to determine the distance between two points.
Floating a VRM/EBL
Note: You can float a VRM/EBL pair using either the soft keys or the context-
sensitive cursor. The procedure for using the cursor is the same as for moving
or unfloating a VRM/EBL pair, as described below; however, as it is more dif-
ficult to locate the VRM/EBL origin when it is over the center, you will proba-
bly find it easier to use the keys in this case.
➤
To float a VRM/EBL pair using the keys:
1. If one is not already present, place a VRM/EBL pair as described in the pre-
vious section.
2. Press
VRM/EBL
to display the
VRM/EBL
soft keys.
3. Press the
FLOAT
soft key. The soft keys are updated, with the relevant
options displayed.
