When setting the cross-track distance, the available choices
depend on the DIST/SPEED UNITS (nautical miles, statute
miles, or kilometers) that you selected on the DISPLAY SETUP
screen. The relationship between the settings of DIST/SPEED
units and XTE SCALE is illustrated in "Table 9: Cross-track
scale options" below.

To change the cross-track scale:
1. Press the CURSOR PAD to highlight the XTE SCALE field,
then press the EDIT key.
2. Press the CURSOR PAD left or right or press the ARROW
keys to select the available option, which depends on the
distance and speed units previously selected (see the
DIST/SPEED field on this same screen).
3. When done, press the ACCEPT key (or CANCEL to leave
the option unchanged).
4. Press RETURN to go back to the SETUP MENU screen.
You can set the display of distance and speed units to any of
the following measurements:
•
nautical miles and knots (NM/KTS)
•
statute miles and miles per hour (MI/MPH)
•
kilometers and kilometers per hour (KM/KPH)
The units chosen here will be displayed on all of the 961's dis-
tance and speed-related displays, including the radius of
avoidance points on the AVOIDANCE POINTS screen. The cho-
sen option also affects the display of cross-track; see
"Cross-track error scale" starting on page 13-3.
