Importing a GRIB File
To import a GRIB file into the active memory of the Zeus unit, highlight the required GRIB file
previously loaded into the Gribs directory, press ‘Menu’, select ‘Import’ . If a GRIB file has been
loaded previously a warning box will appear and ask if you wish to overwrite.
Alternatively you can import the GRIB file direct from your portable memory device. Highlight
the GRIB file, press ‘Menu’ select Import.
¼ Note: GRIB files that are imported direct from portable memory will not be saved to the
GRIBS directory and will be lost when a new GRIB file is imported.
Switching GRIB Overlay On
Once a GRIB file is imported to Zeus then that GRIB data can be switched on and will overlay
GRIB information on the relevant area of the chart.
Selecting GRIB Forecast Time
The GRIB file contains forecast information for a set number of days. It is possible to animate
the weather data and move forward in time to see the predicted forecast for a specific time
and date. These time scales vary depending on the file you are using.
Once animate is selected, time and speed dials will appear on the right hand side of the
screen and a data panel will appear in the bottom left corner.
Press the rotary knob to change between the time and speed dials. Press the ‘Enter’ key to
close animation and return to the chart.
