1.32.2 True or relative bearing
The EBL readout is affixed by "R" (relative) if it is relative to own ship's heading, "T"
(true) if it is referenced to the north. True or relative indication is available regardless
of presentation mode.
1. Open the [MAIN MENU].
2. Select [NAVTOOL], then push the ADJUST knob.

lows:
1.33 Collision Assessment by Offset EBL
The origin of the EBL can be placed anywhere with the Touchpad to enable measure-
ment of range and bearing between any two targets. This function is also useful for
assessment of the potential risk of collision. It is possible to read CPA (Closest Point
of Approach) by using a VRM as shown in (a) in the illustration below. If the EBL pass-
es through the sweep origin (own ship) as shown in (b) in the illustration below, the
target ship is on a collision course.
Gyro heading EBL changes
HEAD UP / relative EBL indication and EBL marker are unchanged.
HEAD UP / true EBL indication does not change, however the EBL
marker moves accordingly
COURSE UP / relative EBL indication does not change, however the EBL
marker moves accordingly.
COURSE UP / true EBL indication and EBL marker are unchanged.
NORTH UP / relative EBL indication does not change, however the EBL
marker moves accordingly
NORTH UP / true EBL indication and EBL marker are unchanged.
