How to Off-Center the Display
Own ship position, or sweep origin, can be displaced to expand the view field without
switching to a larger range scale. The sweep origin can be off-centered to the cursor
position, but not more than 75% of the range in use; if the cursor is set beyond 75%
of the range scale, the sweep origin will be off-centered to the point of 75% of the limit.
This feature is not available on the 96 nm range or in the true motion mode.
If the conning position is outside the effective radar display, some parts of the bearing
scale are not shown. For details, see section 1.50.
How to off-center the display from the control unit (RCU-014)
1. Place the cursor at the position where you wish to move the sweep origin.
2. Press the
OFF CENTER
key. The sweep origin is now off-centered at the cursor
position.
3. To cancel off-centering, press the
OFF CENTER
key again.
How to off-center the display from the on-screen menu
1. Place the cursor inside the operational display area, then right-click to show the
[CURSOR] menu.
2. Select [OFF CENTER]. The cursor is now displayed with a red surround, indicat-
ing that [OFF CENTER] mode is active.
3. Move the cursor to the position where you wish to move the sweep origin, then left
click. The display is now centered at the cursor position.
Note:
If you need to move off-center position, you can reset the off-center while
the cursor is displayed with the red surround by left-clicking the operational dis-
play area.
4. Right-click to cancel [OFF CENTER] mode.
5. To reset the sweep origin to the center of the operational display area, repeat
steps 1 to 2, then left-click the operational display area.
Note:
When the conditions shown below are met, off-center cannot be canceled. This
is because the radar antenna position is located at a position greater than 75% of the
effective radar display.
• Own ship marker is large.
• The distance between antenna position and conning position is large.
• Short-distance display range.
To cancel the off-center in these cases, select a larger range, then cancel the off-center.
Off-centered display
Put cursor where desired
and do appropriate
off-center procedure.
