1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.1 Introduction The Video Plotter RP-180 is an optional circuit board (RP board) which is accommodated in the display unit of the FR-1500 MK3 series radar. It permits use of two memory cards, a memory card (RAM card) for storing own ship and other ship tracks and marks, and the other is a chart card (ROM card) for digital charts. With connection of an AIS (Universal Automatic Identification System) transponder to the RP board, the RP-180 provides navigation d

2. CHART CARDS 2.3 Position, Bearing Correction 2.3.1 Position correction There may be some instances where the chart is not overlaid on the radar picture correctly. You can compensate for this error by applying an offset to chart position. Note 1: A gyrocompass is required to get accurate correction. Note 2: The radar display and coastline data use different calculation methods, thus they do not agree. Error is most prevalent in high longitudes. 1. Press the [MENU] key to open the m

2. CHART CARDS 2.3.2 Bearing correction In some cases radar bearing may not match chart bearing. This can be corrected by offsetting bearing, automatically or manually. This feature is useful when no coastline is displayed; that is, vessel is in mid ocean. A magnetic compass is required. 1. Press [MENU], [8], [8], [5], [5] to display the Position Correction menu. 2.

3. TRACK 3.2 Stopping Plotting of Own Ship’s Track When your ship is at anchor or returning to port you probably will not need to plot (record) the track. You can stop plotting the track, to conserve the track memory, by actuating the “HOLD” function. The track is neither plotted nor saved, thereby conserving the track memory. 3.2.1 Stopping track plotting 1. Press [MENU], [1], [1], [7], [7] to display the Plot Interval menu. 2.

3. TRACK 3.3 Changing Own Ship’s Plot Interval The plot interval determines both how the track will be reconstructed on the display and the track storage time. 3.3.1 How the track is drawn The “quality” of the track displayed largely depends on the plot interval setting, smoothing rate, etc. In drawing the track, first the ship’s position fed from the navigation aid is stored into the radar’s memory at an interval of time or distance selected by the operator. This interval of time o
