Figure 2-10: Changing the Chart Center 3. Use the trackpad to move the cursor to the required position. 4. Press ENTER to select the position and return to normal cursor control. The chart is redrawn with the vessel position at the cursor. Alternatively, you can press CLEAR to abandon the move and leave the chart (and vessel) in its former position.

Using FIND SHIP

FIND SHIP is used in full-screen chart mode to re-draw the chart with the vessel at the center and the cursor homed onto the vessel.
When you press FIND SHIP the following occur: The chart is re-drawn with the vessels position in the center. The cursor is homed onto the vessel position and moves with it. When the vessel moves near the edge of the chart window, the chart is redrawn to place the vessel and cursor at the center again. The status bar indicates vessel position, speed and course over ground. To release the cursor from homed mode press the trackpad to move the cursor away from the vessels current position. The status bar shows the cursor position, range and bearing.
Synchronise the Radar and Chart
If you have a combined radar/chartplotter display, with chart and radar windows on and you have selected Radar/Chart Synch in Chart Set Up
(Section 7.7, Chart Set Up Parameters), FIND SHIP also synchronises the radar and chart images as follows: The chart is redrawn so that its center position matches that of the radar display. The radar is redrawn to the scale and heading mode of the chart. Note: Depending on the topology of the coastline, the radar returns may not relate to the charted shoreline, the radar image will therefore be different to the chart display. For example, a gently sloping beach with a cliff several hundred metres beyond the charted coastline, the cliff is not shown on the chart but will be displayed on the radar image. Moving Around the Chart

Changing the Chart Scale

The RANGE key allows you to change the chart scale so that you can see a smaller or larger area on the screen. Plotter mode is available to allow you to zoom into a smaller area, even when no chart data is available for that scale. Section 7.7 describes how to set plotter mode on/off. You can change the chart scale for two purposes: To see either more detail (of a smaller area) or a larger area (in less detail) on the screen. To move the display to another area of the chart, by zooming out to a small scale chart, then zooming in on another position centered on the cursor. Each time you press the RANGE key, the chart scale changes to the next available setting. The status bar indicates the distance from top to bottom of the screen, in nautical miles.

To change the scale quickly, press and hold the required arrow on the RANGE key. The distance indicator at the left-hand end of the status bar is updated whenever you change the chart scale.
To zoom in to a larger-scale (more detailed) chart: 1. Use the trackpad to position the cursor in the area you wish to see in more detail. 2. Press the lower part of the RANGE key to zoom into the area. The section of the chart around the cursor is enlarged to fill the screen with a larger-scale chart showing more detail. The cursor is now positioned in the center of the screen. The distance indicated at the top left of the screen is updated. 3. If further chart enlargement is available using the current chart card you can press the bottom of the RANGE key to zoom in again, re-positioning the cursor first if required. An area of further chart detail is indicated by a box around the area as shown in Figure 2-11. Moving Around the Chart

Figure 2-11: Chart Boundaries 4. When no further chart detail is available, as you press the bottom of the RANGE key, the effect depends on whether Plotter Mode is on or off as follows: If Plotter Mode is Off, the chart scale remains unchanged, indicating the smallest chart scale is displayed.
If Plotter Mode is On, the scale is decreased and the message NO CHART DATA is displayed. The vessel, waypoints, routes and tracklines are displayed without cartography. Moving Around the Chart The chart information is restored when you return to a chart scale for which the information is available.
To zoom out to a smaller-scale (less detailed) chart, simply press the upper part of the RANGE key as many times as required.
2.6 Typical Chart Scenarios
The following illustrations provide operating guidelines for typical navigation scenarios. These scenarios can be used as a training guide; they show you how to perform a particular operation and they introduce many of the chartplotter functions. Each scenario indicates the key presses required to perform particular tasks. A typical chartplotter screen image is shown for each task. The scenarios assume you have read the previous sections of this chapter and that you are familiar with the Operating Controls. Full operating details for each function are provided in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6. Operating guidelines are provided for the following scenarios: Working with Waypoints Place a Waypoint Goto a Waypoint Make and Follow a Routes Create a Route Follow a Route Review the Passage Plan View Route Information Change the SOG, Hours and ETA.

Each time you press the RANGE key, the range changes to the next available setting. The system will beep three times if no further range scale is available. To change the range quickly, press and hold the required arrow on the RANGE key. The range scale and range ring interval indicators, at the left-hand end of the status bar, are updated whenever you change the range.

The Standard Range Scale

Details of the standard ranges that can be selected are shown in the table below. If you wish, you can customize the range scales by specifying different ranges, as described in Section 7.4, Radar Set Up Parameters

Table 3-1:

Radar Range Scales

The number of range rings shown in the table is the number to the selected range. Additional range rings are displayed to the edge of the radar picture, at the standard ring interval for the current range, and are visible when the centre is offset.
Determining Actual Radar Range
The actual maximum radar range is essentially line-of-sight, and is limited by the height of the scanner and the height of the target as shown in Figure 3-1. Table 3-2 lists some range examples:
Earth Radar Rmax h H Rmax = 2.23 ( h + H )

Note: The ranges shown in the table are theoretical maximum ranges. The radar horizon is greater than the optical horizon, but the radar can only detect targets if a large enough target is above the radar horizon.
3.3 Interpreting and Adjusting the Radar Picture
Navigational echoes may be large, small, bright or faint, depending not only on the size of the object but also on its orientation and surface. Different objects reflect the radar signals in different ways. For example, vertical objects such as cliffs reflect signals better than sloping ones such as sandbanks. High coastlines and mountainous coastal regions can be observed at the longest radar range. However, the first sight of land may be a mountain several miles inland from the coastline. The actual coastline may not appear on the radar until the vessel is close to the line of sight distance. The radar indication may not be similar to your visual observation; a nearby small object may appear to be the same size as a distant large object on the radar. However, with experience the approximate size of different objects can be determined by the relative size and brightness of the echoes. Some targets, such as buoys and small boats, can be difficult to differentiate, since they bob and toss about in the waves and do not present a consistent reflecting surface. Consequently, these echoes have a tendency to fade and brighten and, at times, to disappear momentarily. Buoys and small boats often resemble each other, but boats can usually be distinguished by their motion. Not all radar echoes are produced by hard navigational items. Some echoes may be received from irregularities on the surface of the water, particularly at close range (sea clutter), or from rain or snow either around the vessel or in the distance. In addition, some echoes may be indirect returns to the radar scanner, providing false echoes or multiple echoes. The effects of many false echoes can be minimized, and the target presentation clarified using the controls summarized below. This section explains how to interpret the radar picture and how the controls affect the display. It provides instructions for adjusting the settings, describes the circumstances in which they should be adjusted, and how they interact with each other.

Placing a VRM/EBL

Placing and positioning VRM/EBLs on the Pathfinder Radar display is quick and easy.

VRM/EBL

If a VRM/EBL is not already displayed, you can place one with a single press of the VRM/EBL key. If you have already placed a VRM/EBL, pressing the VRM/EBL key provides soft key control of additional functions. To place a VRM/EBL when one is not already displayed: 1. Press VRM/EBL. The radar picture shows VRM/EBL1, together with its associated data box in its last-used position. As shown in Figure 3-12, the cursor is positioned over the intersection of the VRM circle and the EBL line. It has control of the VRM/EBL as indicated by the four-way arrow, the solid VRM/EBL line, and the text VRM/ EBL.

The range and bearing information in the VRM/EBL data box is updated as you move the cursor. 3. Press ENTER to drop the VRM/EBL. The radar shows this VRM/EBL as a short-dashed line, and the cursor returns to normal control. 4. Read the range and bearing to the target or point, which is shown in the VRM/EBL data box. 5. If required, you can move or delete the VRM/EBL data box using the context-sensitive cursor. To place a VRM/EBL when one is already displayed: 1. Press VRM/EBL to display the VRM/EBL soft keys.

The labels for the two left-hand soft keys indicate the current status of the two VRM/EBLs.
2. Press the soft key for the VRM/EBL you require, to toggle the setting from OFF to ON. The soft key labels are cleared, and the radar picture shows the VRM/EBL and its associated data box. 3. Position the EBL/VRM using the trackpad, and press ENTER to drop it. The radar shows the VRM/EBL as a short-dashed line (VRM/EBL1) or a long-dashed line (VRM/EBL2), and the cursor returns to normal control.
Moving an Existing VRM/EBL
You can move an existing VRM/EBL using the context-sensitive cursor. You can control the VRM and EBL separately or both together.
To move the VRM and/or EBL: 1. Move the cursor over the VRM or EBL you wish to change. If you wish to change the VRM and EBL together, move the cursor over the intersection of VRM/EBL. The cursor text indicates the current object as VRM, EBL, or VRM/EBL. 2. Press ENTER to take control of the object. The object(s) under control is displayed as a solid line, and the cursor as a four-headed arrow. 3. Move the EBL to the new angle and/or change the VRM radius (range) using the trackpad controls. 4. Press ENTER again to drop the VRM/EBL in its new position, or CLEAR to abandon the operation and return the VRM/EBL to its previous position. The radar shows the VRM/EBL as a short-dashed line (VRM/EBL1) or a long-dashed line (VRM/EBL2), and the cursor returns to normal control.

Repeater Displays

On an integrated HSB display system the repeater display (with the appropriate software version) can access the MARPA functions, and targets are shown on the repeater display. MARPA data is also sent on NMEA allowing any other equipment, with the necessary functionality, to show the tracked targets data.
MARPA target acquisition is only available at radar range scales of up to 12nm, although tracking continues at all ranges.
Providing Heading Data for MARPA
The performance of MARPA on the radar display is dependent on the quality of your heading sensor. In particular, MARPA requires heading data to be frequently updated (i.e a minimum data output rate of 8 Hz). Heading data must therefore be provided on NMEA. The Raytheon ST80 Active (fluxgate) Compass connected on NMEA should provide good results in reasonable sea states. However, in poor conditions, a fluxgate compass with rate gyro, or a gyro compass will improve the performance of MARPA. Contact Raytheon Customer Services or your authorized Raytheon dealer for additional information.
For specific configuration and calibration details with the ST80 active compass refer to Appendix E. If you are using a suitable third party heading sensor, refer to its documentation for installation and calibration details; connect such a compass in a similar manner to the ST80 active compass, giving due consideration to the power requirements.

2. Position the cursor over the required target and press the ACQUIRE TARGET soft key. The symbol is placed at the cursor position and the radar searches for a target at the cursor position. If a target is present for several scans the radar locks onto it and the symbol indicates a safe target, the target vector is also displayed. If the target is continuously lost, the lost target symbol is displayed and a Lost Target alarm is generated; press any key to cancel the alarm and remove the lost target symbol from the display. 3. Press ENTER or CLEAR to return to the default display.

Inserting a Chart Card

To insert a chart card: 1. Check that the card is a C-MAP NT C-Card with the required chart stored on it. 2. Open the card cover, at the lower left of the display front panel. 3. Hold the card with the title label towards the left, as shown in the illustration. 4. Gently push the card into one of the two slots. It will only go in if it is correctly oriented. Push the card in as far as it will go, then move it to the right so that the top is under the retaining pegs. The card will be held in place by the pegs. 5. Close the card cover until it clicks shut, to prevent water entering the display unit.

Removing the Chart Card

Removing a Chart Card
To remove a chart card: 1. Open the card cover, at the lower left of the display front panel. 2. Press on the card you wish to remove, and move the top of the card to the left to clear the retaining pegs. The card will spring half-way out, enabling you to grip the card and remove it from the slot. 3. Remember to close the card cover so that it clicks shut, to prevent water from entering the card reader assembly.
Displaying the Chart Data
The new chart information will be displayed when you move the cursor into an area covered by the new chart or, if it is already in the area, change the range scale. If an HSB Series repeater display is connected, the chart can also be accessed by the repeater display. To see the chart you may need to zoom or pan, to redraw the chart area to the screen. The boundary of each chart digitized in the current card is defined by a box or rectangle. (You can switch off the chart boundaries display if you wish, as part of the chartplotter set up described in Section 7.7.)
To zoom in: 1. Use the trackpad to move the cursor inside one of the chart boxes, and press the lower part of the RANGE key.
That area is expanded, with the cursor at the centre, so that you can see more detail. Note that the smaller the chart box is on the screen, the further you can zoom in and the greater the amount of detail that is available. If you have switched on Plotter Mode (see Section 7.7), you can zoom in further than the most detailed chart; all chart functions remain available.

Displaying Object Information
Chart cards include a number of displayed objects for which information is available, such as lights and buoys. If your chart includes port and tide data, this can be displayed along with information for the nearest port facility (for a selected position). Chart source data is also available. You use the contextsensitive cursor to identify the object and display detailed information. To obtain the chart object, port or tide information: 1. Move the cursor over the symbol for which you require the information. An Object data box such as the following is displayed at the lower left corner of the screen:

1 Object Caution area

D4260-1
2. To view further details, press ENTER. The details available are listed onscreen in an object information pop-up. Use the trackpad to move the selection bar over the required item then press ENTER to display the full details. 3. Press CLEAR twice to remove the pop-up from the screen and return to the default display.

Chart Source Data

The chart card contains additional background data for most chart objects, icons, lines, open sea areas etc. Some of these items automatically provide an information data box, as described above. For other chart objects, such as bridges and territorial lines, you need to press ENTER to display the object information pop-up. To obtain chart source data, move the cursor so that is not over a symbol, then press ENTER. An object information pop-up is displayed, providing source information for the selected land or depth area.

Port Area

At large chart scales port area information is indicated by the symbol. An object information pop-up provides the name of the marina or port and a list of the facilities available. Where available, details for each facility can be displayed. This information includes items such as accommodation, slip sizes, fueling, sanitation, electrical or other maintenance services provided, VHF channels monitored, and other safety and navigation information. In some areas the chart shows symbols for individual facilities. The facilities and their associated symbols are illustrated in Figure 5-2. Displaying Object Information Figure 5-2: Port Symbols

Other Follow Route Options
You can use the soft keys to follow a route from a selected waypoint (join a route), or if already following, you can advance to the next waypoint. You can also restart the cross track error, setting the current vessel position as the new origin. In addition, you can move a selected waypoint as described in Section 5.3, or remove a waypoint from the route as described in Section 5.4.

Joining a Route

To start tracking the current route at a selected waypoint: 1. Move the cursor over the required waypoint until the letters WPT and the waypoint soft keys are displayed. 2. Press the FOLLOW FROM HERE soft key. Your vessel follows the route, using the selected waypoint as the target point. 3. To return to the default display, move the cursor away from the waypoint or press CLEAR or ENTER.

FOLLOW FROM HERE

Advancing to a Waypoint
Going To an Individual Target Point
Once you are following a route, you can advance to the next waypoint, even if you have not reached the current target waypoint: 1. If necessary, press the GOTO default soft key to display the Goto/Follow soft keys.
STOP FOLLOW GOTO CURSOR RESTART XTE WAYPOINT ADVANCE
2. Press the WAYPOINT ADVANCE soft key. The current leg of the route is abandoned and the next waypoint becomes the target. The display is updated to show the new route leg.
Restart Cross Track Error (XTE)
While you are following a route, or going to a target point, you can restart the XTE. This sets the XTE to zero and moves the origin to the actual vessel position. Restarting XTE is useful if you find yourself off track and want to go straight to your target, rather than get back onto the original track.

GOTO RESTART XTE

To restart XTE: 1. Press the GOTO default soft key, the Follow/Goto soft keys are displayed. 2. Press the RESTART XTE soft key. The route origin moves to the current vessel position, thus the XTE becomes zero.
Rather than following a route, you can go directly to a selected target point, this can be an existing waypoint (not in the current route), or the cursor position.
To navigate directly to an existing waypoint: 1. Use the trackpad to position the cursor over the required waypoint until the letters WPT and the waypoint soft keys are displayed.
Alternatively, you can select the waypoint from the waypoint list as described in Section 5.3.
2. Press the GOTO WAYPOINT soft key. Navigation to the selected waypoint begins. The soft key STOP GOTO is displayed. 3. To return to the default soft key display, move the cursor away from the waypoint or press ENTER or CLEAR. To navigate directly to the cursor position: 1. Use the trackpad to position the cursor as required. 2. Press the GOTO default soft key, followed by GOTO CURSOR. If navigation is currently in progress you are warned Already following route. Cancel route and goto cursor?. To cancel the GOTO CURSOR operation, press NO. To continue with the GOTO CURSOR operation (and stop the current GOTO ROUTE), press YES. The chartplotter places a temporary waypoint as the target and starts to navigate towards it. The waypoint is shown as a square with a circle and dot in the centre, and is connected to the vessels starting position with a dashed line. The soft key STOP GOTO is displayed. Note: The temporary waypoint is not added to the waypoint list; when the GOTO is complete, or is stopped, the temporary waypoint is erased. 3. To return to the default soft key display, move the cursor away from the waypoint or press ENTER or CLEAR. Stop Follow or Stop Goto

When Help is set to ON, a prompt appears when selecting a soft key or menu choice, and when using the context-sensitive cursor. The help message is cleared when an action is selected.
When the Soft Keys option is set to ON, the default soft keys are displayed if no other operation is in progress. When the Soft Keys option is set to OFF, the default soft keys are only displayed when a soft key is pressed, and they disappear if no operation is performed for 10 seconds.

Key Beep

This option controls whether or not the keys make a noise when you press them.

MOB Data

This option controls whether MOB data is based on position data, or on dead reckoning (DR). Dead reckoning normally provides a better indication of the course to an object in the water, on the assumption that your vessel and the object are both subject to the same tide and wind effects.

Menu Timeout Period

With no timeout set, menus and soft key labels remain displayed until you clear them by pressing ENTER, CLEAR or the appropriate dedicated key. If you set a value here, the menus and soft key labels will be cleared if a key has not been pressed for the specified number of seconds. This setting does not affect the default soft key labels, which are controlled by the Soft Keys option (see above).
You can set the units for speed, depth and temperature. The units you set will be used to display all data, including information received from other instruments on the system. However, the distance units do not affect the instrumented range of the radar, which is always in nautical miles.

Variation Source

The variation value is the difference between True and Magnetic direction data for heading or bearing values. The Variation Source option provides soft keys for selecting Auto or Manual variation mode, displays the current variation value for each and highlights the currently selected mode.
Auto Mode (available in systems with HSB Radar)
If you select Auto mode, the radar obtains the value of variation automatically, normally from received data. The variation value that is used depends on the data available, and is selected in the following order of priority: 1. Variation value from the same source as the heading data: If heading data is being taken from NMEA, then variation is also taken from NMEA If heading is taken from SeaTalk, then SeaTalk variation is used
2. Variation value from a different source: If heading data is being taken from NMEA, but no NMEA variation is available, then variation is taken from SeaTalk If heading is taken from SeaTalk, but no SeaTalk variation is available, then variation is taken from NMEA 3. A calculated variation value, using position data, if no SeaTalk or NMEA value is available 4. The current manual variation value, if no SeaTalk or NMEA value and no position data is available

If you have a Raytheon Autopilot 4000 or 5000 (with compass) and a Raytheon active compass, we recommend that you configure your system as follows: Ensure the active compass is re-wired to provide heading data on NMEA. Provide 12V power to the active compass. Connect the active compass to the NMEA input of your display. Enable Bridge NMEA Heading in the display System Set Up menu. Calibrate the autopilots compass (as described in the autopilot Owners Handbook) with the10.4" LCD/10" CRT display switched OFF. Manually calibrate the NMEA compass with the 10.4" LCD/10" CRT display switched ON as described in the section Calibrating the ST80 Active Compass. Note that both compasses are linearised and aligned. When the radar is ON, the SeaTalk heading from the HSB Series display takes precedence in the autopilot; when the HSB Series display is switched off, the autopilot uses the locally connected compass. If the two compasses are mismatched, the autopilot heading will change when the radar is switched on/off

Provide 12V power to the active compass. Connect the active compass to NMEA input of the display. If you require heading data on the SeaTalk system when the 10.4" LCD/ 10" CRT display is switched OFF, you must fit a NMEA/SeaTalk interface box (part number Z290 or E85001). The NMEA heading data is connected to the interface box (in addition to the 10.4" LCD/10" CRT display). Set Bridge NMEA Heading OFF in the display System Set Up menu. If you do not fit a NMEA/SeaTalk interface box, set Bridge NMEA Heading ON in the display System Set Up menu. The 10.4" LCD/10" CRT display provides the heading data to the SeaTalk system. Note that when the display is switched OFF, heading data is not available on the SeaTalk system.
