7.4 Chart Setup
This paragraph shows you how to setup digital charts, from offsetting chart position to
turning chart attributes on or off.

error by offsetting chart position as shown in the procedure below.
1. Show the plotter display, then press the MENU key followed by the A: CHART SETUP
and A: CHART OFFSET soft keys.
