2.10 Event Marker
The event marker functions to mark important locations on the horizontal mode display, and
five event markers may be inscribed. Press the EVENT key to inscribe the event marker.
Each time the key is pressed the “latest event marker” (
⊕) is inscribed at the cursor location
and all previously entered event markers are shown by the “previous event marker” (+).
Five event markers may be entered and when the capacity for event markers is reached the
eldest event marker is erased from the screen to make room for the latest.
Note 1: Event markers cannot be entered from the history or video plotter display (other
display in horizontal combination displays). Event markers may only be entered from the
horizontal display.
Note 2: The tilt angle must be less than 75-degrees. Correct event marker position data is
not possible with the tilt angle higher than 75-degrees.
Note 3: Event marker position may be output to external equipment. See paragraph 5.4.2
Note 4: Event markers are only erased from the currently used display (horizontal, vertical,
echo sounder).
