Target Wakes

You can see the direction and speed with which targets are moving relative to your vessel by selecting the target wakes display option.

When wakes are switched on, the target is displayed at the brightest level and the previous positions of targets are retained at successively fainter levels on the screen. You can select long, medium or short wakes, which retain information from previous scans at a reduced video level.

You can clear existing wakes from the display by clicking the Clear Wakes Functionbar button. When wakes are switched off, no new wakes are displayed and existing wakes are cleared.

Measuring Range and Bearing Using VRM/EBL

The Pathfinder Plus Radar display allows you to specify up to two

Electronic Bearing Lines (EBL)s each with an associated Variable

Range Marker (VRM), using the VRM/EBL button on the Pathfinder

Panel.

A standard VRM is displayed as a circle with its center on your vessel's position, and its EBL is displayed as a line from the origin to the edge of the radar picture display (Figure 5-8).
