Using your Tresco Radar Overlay 

 
Whit the radar turned on and the PC off, the user should see his normal radar 
picture.   
 
At that moment please switch your radar as usually to the required distance 
RANGE and adjust TUNE and GAIN to the optimal value. Please set STC and FTC to 
zero, unless there is any clutter generated by waves or rain, than adjust carefully 
to the minimum required value. 
 
After turning on the Tresco PC, one should see the radar picture with underlaid 
chart.  A PC mouse pointer becomes visible on the screen.  The chart will appear 
only if position and heading data are available and of a good quality. 
 
All operations regarding radar can be done continuously in the usual way by using 
the radars operating panel (radar keyboard and trackball). 
 
To operate the additional chart functions, please move the mouse pointer to the 
bottom of the radar-overlay screen, and, the Tresco chart menu will pop-up:
