Nobeltec InSight Radar (IR2)
Operations Manual
Radar Orientation (rotation) (4kW and Higher)
You can rotate the InSight Radar window by using the Radar drop down menu or
the right click. In both cases, click on the option Radar Orientation and then on
one of its sub-menu options. The current orientation is displayed in the upper right
corner (as seen on previous page). Orientation options are:
Heads Up: Rotates the radar image such that the line connecting the
center of the radar image to the top of the display is the
vessel’s current heading. The radar is painted relative to own
ship’s heading. This rotation option works only if you have an
attached heading sensor.
North Up: Rotates the radar image so that North is always directly up
on the radar window. In this case the line connecting the
center of the radar image to the top of the display is the
North indicator.
Course Up: This option rotates the radar image to the current Course
Over Ground (COG). As your course changes, so does the
radar window. COG is necessarily different than Heading in
that your boat can be pitching and rolling creating sudden
heading changes while COG remains consistent. Heading
is typically delivered via a heading sensor while COG is a
function of your GPS and track history.
Leg Up: This option rotates the radar image to the intended course
between your start point (or last waypoint) and the next
waypoint in your route. Leg Up is useful when your ship is
yawing excessively and the radar image is changing too
much. This option only works when you have a activated
route in a chart window.
Please Note: When using the 2kW Dome, the only Radar
Orientation available is Heads Up. If the radar image is overlaid
on an electronic chart, you can select any of the orientation
modes listed above.
