D6740_4See 'Using the Chart' chapter of the Reference ManualHow your boat moves on the screen is referred to as the motion mode. The default setting for the chart is Relative Motion. This means that your boat is fixed on the screen and the chart moves relative to your boat i.e. How do I change how my boat moves on the chart?If desired, you can change the motion mode to:True (TM) - the chart is fixed and the boat moves in true perspective to fixed landmasses on the screen. Autorange (AR) - selects and maintains the largest possible scale of chart that will display both the boat and the target waypoint This option is not available when radar/chart synchronization is ON. NOTE: When you pan the chart or toggle FIND SHIP/CURSOR to CURSOR, the motion mode is suspended.How do I change the chart orientation?The orientation of the chart refers to the relationship between the chart and the direction you are travelling in. It is used in conjunction with motion mode (see below) to control how your boat and chart relate to one another and how they are displayed on screen. The default mode is North Up (N-UP). This displays your chart with true north upwards. As your heading changes the boat symbol moves accordingly.If desired, you can change the orientation mode to:PRESENTATION...CHART MODE ANDORIENTATION...ORIENTATIONH-UP N-UP C-UPPRESENTATION...CHART MODE ANDORIENTATION...MOTION MODETM RM ARHead Up (H-Up) - displays chart with boat's current heading upwards.

You can place a waypoint at the cursor or your boat's position or at a specified position. Waypoints are represented in chart or radar applications as an 'X' (default) and by a vertical line labeled WPT in Fishfinder. Active waypoints are displayed on 3D Chart and CDI windows. The details of each waypoint are stored in a waypoint list. Waypoints can be renamed, edited, grouped, or erased, as necessary. To make full use of waypoint features, ensure your display is receiving heading and position data. We recommend that you regularly back-up your waypoints by archiving them to a CompactFlash card. Waypoints can also be transferred to another NMEA compatible instrument. Networked systemsIf you have networked two or more E-Series Displays, the waypoints are stored on the master display and transferred to other displays via the SeaTalk High Speed network.

MARPA improves your standards of collision avoidance by obtaining detailed information for up to 10 targets, and provides continuous and rapid situation evaluation.MARPA tracks the selected targets and calculates target bearing, range, true speed, course, Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). Each tracked target can be displayed with a CPA graphic depicting the approximate target speed (vector length) and course (vector direction). Alternatively, move the cursor over the target to display the range and CPA. You can now access bearing and speed. Each target is continually assessed. An alarm sounds if a target becomes dangerous or lost. NOTE: For MARPA to operate, fast heading data is required.

D8809_2How do I view target information?How do I view detailed AIS data?What is around me?Using AISCard 16AIS uses digital radio signals to broadcast ‘realtime’ information between vessels and shore based stations via dedicated VHF frequencies. This information is used to identify and track vessels in the surrounding area and to provide collision avoidance data. AIS will augment your radar application, as it can operate in radar blind spots.In order to use the AIS feature, you will need a GPS and compass for timing and position information together with data from a suitable AIS receiver.AIS VECTORON OFFAIS DATAAUTO ON OFFVIEW FULLAIS DATA125oT7.7kt01.30nm12h15m30sVIEW FULLAIS DATA--,---nmMNSINameCall signLast seenLatLonHdgLengthBeamDraughtCOGSOGCPATC PAIMO NoDestStatusTypeETA6Sim Target 601/ 0 1/2 006 01 :1 3: 21A M30 39’.702WOAIS Target info: Sim Target 6080o18'.702W159oT142oT25,7kt--,---nmUnder Way Using EngineNormal--h--m--s--,---ft--,---ft--ft--/--/---- --:--:--AMWhat is AIS?PRESENTATION...PRESENTATION...Toggle as requiredOn chart windows:On radar windows:Toggle as requiredCHART LAYERS...

D10703_1The colors displayed represent the strength of the echoes received from targets. For most targets the echo strength is closely related to their size. Colors also help to distinguish targets within Clutter. Normally, targets will be displayed as a stronger color than the surrounding clutter. For example, a Buoy with a radar reflector will show clearly in sea clutter.What is around me? Understanding the digital radarCard 24VRM/EBL TARGETTRACKING GAIN ENHANCEECHOES...

If you have connected two or more E-Series Displays (via either a crossover coupler or SeaTalk High Speed Switch), all system data (from NMEA 0183, SeaTalk, SeaTalk2, NMEA 2000, SeaTalkhs waypoints, routes etc) can be transferred across the network enabling you to input, view and maintain data across all your displays irrespective of the Display from which the data originated (excepting Video Input).Operating a networked E-Series DisplayCard 25What does a networked system do?The display that has been installed and nominated as the master, should always be switched on (preferably first). The master display maintains the waypoint, route and track lists as well as data from NMEA and SeaTalk. Each time the master display detects a change on any display e.g. waypoint, route or track added or edited, the data is copied to the database which in turn is copied to all other Displays that are switched on.If the system does not detect a master, either because it is not switched on or because a master has not been selected, an alarm will sound and you will be prompted to set a master display.How is the network controlled?How do I change the master display?D8487_2SelectSystem Integration setup MenuDCM MessageSeatalkBridge NMEA HeadingNMEA Output Setup....Data MasterONONONOFFOFFONChart Setup....Cartogrphy Setup....AIS setup....Alarm Setup....GPS Status....SetupChart Setup....Cartogrphy Setup....AIS setup....Alarm Setup....GPS Status....System Setup....System Setup....System Setup MenuPosition Mode...TD Setup...SimulatorBearing ModeMOD Data TypeVariation SourceManual VariationLanguageExtended Character SetGround Trip Reset...Settings Reset...Settings and Data Reset...Date/Time Setup...Unit Setup...Waypoint Password Setup...Lat/LongONTruePositionAuto(05oW)00oEEnglish (US)OFFSystem Integration...MENUHighlight SystemSetup SelectSelectHighlight System IntegrationSelect ONHighlight Data MasterRaymarine Inc.21 Manchester Street,Merrimack,NH 03054-4801USA1-603 881 5200www.raymarine.comRaymarine LtdQuay PointNortharbour Road,Portsmouth, HampshireEngland PO6 3TD+44 (0)23 9269 3611www.raymarine.comDocument No 86114_4
