5. VIDEO PLOTTER OPERATION
5.1 General
The video plotter does the following functions:
• Plots own and other ships’ tracks. (Plotting of other ships’ tracks not available
on IMO type.)
• Enters waypoints, nav lines and marks.
• Creates and displays radar maps.
• Records data onto memory cards (optional card interface required).
• It uses two types of memory cards, a memory card (RAM card) for storing own
ship and other ship’s tracks and marks, and a digital chart card (ROM card).
• 30 nav lines may be stored and each line may contain up to 30 waypoints.
One nav line may be shown on the display. 200 waypoints are available. Own
ship and other ship tracks may be stored at a selected interval.
• Charts (A, B, C and W types) are superimposed on the radar picture without
disturbing the radar observation. The chart area is dependent on the radar
range in use.
