7.4 Radar Set Up Parameters

The RADAR SET UP option allows you to set up the radar according to your
system configuration and your personal preferences.

Note: Some parameters can only be changed if you are using the Master dis-
play (that is, the display to which the scanner is connected).

The following table lists the Radar Set Up parameters and their options,
shows the factory default setting, and provides a space for you to make a
note of your new default setting. Each parameter is described in the fol-
lowing subsections.

EBL Display

The mode of the bearing data displayed for Electronic Bearing Lines
(EBLs). The bearing information can be displayed in either of two forms:

Relative: The bearing relative to your vessel’s heading.

Mag/True: The actual bearing in either degrees magnetic or degrees true.
This option is only available if you are obtaining data from a compass.

If you choose this mode, the selection you made for Bearing Mode
determines whether °M or °T is displayed in the EBL data boxes. The
current units are shown for the heading value in the status bar at the top
of the screen.
