Chapter 4: Setting Up the GPS Plotter 4-7
4. The current manual variation value, if no SeaTalk or NMEA value
and no position data is available.
Manual Mode
If MANUAL mode is selected, by pressing either of the MANUAL soft keys,
the local variation value can be specified according to the area in which
you are operating. Press the appropriate MANUAL soft key to adjust the
variation up or down, to a maximum of 30° East or West.
This value is then transmitted to any other SeaTalk instruments on your
system. It is retained if you turn the display off and on again.
In Manual mode, incoming NMEA variation is ignored. However, if the
variation is changed on another SeaTalk instrument, the new value is
used and the manual value that is displayed is updated.
Note: The Manual variation value defaults to 0°, so it is important to set
up a value if variation is not available from an external source.
NMEA OUT Set Up
Each NMEA sentence can be set to either OFF or ON individually. The
factory default is ON for each sentence.
Cursor Echo
You can set up your system so that radars, plotters and chartplotters
connected via SeaTalk can display each other’s cursors.
Press the CURSOR ECHO soft key to display the cursor transfer soft keys.
The following options can be toggled ON or OFF:
• Radar Cursor In: displays the cursor from another radar on the plot-
ter display or chart window (default - OFF).
• Chart Cursor In: displays the cursor from another plotter or chart-
plotter (default - OFF).
• SeaTalk Cursor Out: enables the output, onto SeaTalk, of the dis-
play’s own cursor (default - OFF).
Note: The remote display must have SeaTalk Cursor Out enabled.
If you set the options to OFF, no cursor echo information is displayed.
Date and Time Settings
Set your preferred date format (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY) and time
format (12 or 24 hour). If you wish to display local time, use the soft keys
to change from UTC to the required time offset. This can be up to
±13
hours, in hourly steps.
