unit in the system.
(Guard zones cannot be viewed or controlled on the chartplotter display, nor
on a repeater display that is not directly connected to a scanner. Likewise,
radar timed transmission is not available on a repeater display).
Master functionality is provided by the display with the appropriate
transducer connected as defined in Table 8-3 .
Any combination of
hsb
2
series displays is possible – each display could
provide different master functionality. Each display repeats the master
functionality of the other displays.
For example, you could connect an hsb
2
Radar display and an hsb
2
Fishfinder
display (which provides both fishfinder and chart functions), to enable you to
display and control radar, fishfinder and chart data on either or both displays.
You can display some combinations, such as radar/chart, in half-screen
windows.
