2. PLOTTER OPERATION

Reading the XTE (cross-track error) monitor
The XTE monitor, located below the compass rose, shows the distance you are
off course and the direction to steer to return to course. The own ship marker
moves according to direction and distance off course. It is shown in black when
the amount of cross-track error is within the XTE monitor range and yellow when
it is over. (On the monochrome model it flashes when the amount of cross-track
error is more than the XTE monitor range.) An arrow appears at the right or left
side of the XTE monitor and it shows the direction to steer to return to intended
course. (For the color model the arrow is shown in red when you should steer
left, and green when you should steer right.) In the example on the previous
page you would steer right to return to course. To maintain course, steer the
vessel so the own ship marker stays at the center of the XTE monitor.
