B&G Zeus2 Glass Helm CPU - Manual (Page 98)

Animating Sirius™ weather graphics
The Zeus 2 Processor records the weather information you have turned on, and this
information can be used to animate past or future weather conditions. The amount of
information available in the system depends on the amount of weather activity; the more
complex it is, the less time will be available for animation.
You can animate the past or the future, depending on which weather view you have turned
on:
• with precipitation overlay, you can animate for the past and only assume weather conditions
in the immediate future.
• with colored wave height overlay, you can animate the future (the predictions).
When activated, the time for the current graphic animation will be displayed in the lower left
corner of the chart panel.
Weather alarms
You can setup the lightning or storm alarms to be within a certain range of your vessel.
You can also get an alarm as a severe weather forecast alarm issued for your chosen marine
zone.
A watchbox is defined by the National Weather Service. When the alarm is turned on you will
get an alarm when your vessel is entering or inside a watchbox.
