2.9Event Marker

The event marker functions to mark important locations on the screen, and five event markers may be inscribed. Each time the [EVENT] key is pressed the “latest event marker” () is inscribed at the cursor location and all previously entered event markers are shown by the “previous event marker” (+). When the capacity for event markers is reached the eldest event marker is erased from the screen to make room for the latest.

Note 1: With position data the event marker moves with ship’s movement. The event marker can be inscribed without position data, however it will be stationary.

Note 2: The event marker cannot be inscribed from the sub window (strata, history and video plotter displays). It can only be inscribes from the main window.

Note 3: Event marker position van be output to external equipment and marked on the display of the external equipment. Each press of the [EVENT] key outputs event marker position. For details see TARGET L/L on page 5-11.

Note 4: The tilt angle must be less than 75 degrees to use this feature.
