Viewing Alarm Distances In Feet, Yards, Or Meters - NorthStar 961 User Manual

If you now change the chart's orientation to Leg-up while on this southeast-
erly leg, the 961/962 would still orient the chart in a similar way as Course-up.
In Leg-up mode, if you then sequence to yet a third leg going in yet another
direction, the 961/962 would automatically rotate the chart accordingly, right
upon sequencing to that next leg, even if you haven't turned the vessel yet.
To set the chart-orientation option:
1. Press the 67$5 key to access the SETUP MENU screen, then
press the &+$57 6&5((1 6(783 key to access the CHART
SETUP screen.
2. Press the &85625 3$' to highlight the CHART ORIENTA-
TION option, then press the (',7 key.
3. Press the &85625 3$' left or right to select the desired
value, then press the $&&(37 key (or press &$1&(/ to leave
the value unchanged). When you return to the CHART
screen, the 961/962 displays the new orientation on both
View A and B.

Viewing alarm distances in feet, yards, or meters

The ALARMS screen has a new display that shows the cross-track
alarm, arrival radius, and anchor-drag alarm not only with their
original nm, mi, or km settings, but also their equivalent
distances in either yards, feet, or meters. You set these equiva-
lents on the DISPLAY SETUP screen by changing the distance
precision to normal or high. The NORMAL setting for this DIST
PRECISION field will then produce on the ALARMS screen a
display of either yards or meters—for nm/mi or km DIST/SPEED
settings, respectively—and the HIGH setting will produce a display
of either feet or meters—also for nm/mi or km DIST/SPEED
settings, respectively.
Table 2 below illustrates how your settings for DIST/SPEED and
DIST PRECISION on the DISPLAY SETUP screen affect the new
cross-track, arrival radius, and anchor drag setting equivalents on
the ALARMS screen.
