Chapter 4: Further Chart Operations
4.1 Introduction
This chapter explains how to use the additional functions that are
provided on the HSB series chartplotter and combined radar/
chartplotter.
It covers the following topics:
• Measuring distances and bearings on the chart, using the VRM/EBL
key
• Setting alarms and timers
• Man Overboard (MOB)
• Cursor Echo
• GPS Setup
• Data Log Mode
In order to use some of these functions, you may need the following
additional data from equipment connected to your system via a HSB,
SeaTalk, or NMEA link:
Data Example source Integrated functions available
Heading Compass
*
- North Up or Course Up heading modes
COG GPS - MOB (if speed data also available)
Radar Radar system (via - Radar data, either full-screen or in a
data HSB) half-screen window
Position GPS system - Waypoints
- Position, COG, SOG and time data in
Data Box and Nav Window
- MOB
- Data Log
Other data Transducers - Data Box and Nav Window data displays,
including speed, depth, wind, temperature
*
If heading data is available via both NMEA and SeaTalk, NMEA data takes priority. For
all other data, SeaTalk data takes priority (see Section 6.3).
