MARPA Sub Tab
The MARPA sub tab contains settings for Vector Length, Target
History, Own Vessel Safe Zone, Time To Safe Zone, Safe Ring Zone,
and Velocity Reference.
The available MARPA sub tab options are:
Vector Length—
predicts the target’s approximate position at
a set time interval. This setting determines the length of the
Vector Line, based on the time interval setting and the target’s
speed. The time interval settings range from .05 minutes to 60
minutes.
Target History—
is a trail showing a target’s movement. Target
History can be turned On or Off.
Own Vessel Safe Zone—is a circular area dened by a range
setting that is centered on your own vessel. If a target enters the
dened area an alarm is sounded. The Safe Zone can be set to a
distance between .01 and 2 nautical miles.
Time To Safe Zone—
sounds an alarm if MARPA determines
that a target will intersect the Own Vessel Safe Zone within the
dened time interval. The time interval settings range from 3 to
24 minutes.
