2.2.6. The operation for track recording
This equipment adopts the new way for track recording, it provides a large storage
space for track recording, the simple and intuitive operation, and the strong editing
feature, the specific feature is as following:
39 storage tracks, can be set to display on/off respectively, segmentation edit,
save and copy, there are 4 kinds of lines and 8 colors to choose.
One real-time track record, with two kinds of recording methods, may regulate
the interval, pause etc. at any time during the process of recording.
A total of 40 track lines, 2100 track points for each track , can store 84,000
track points in total.
New track/Stop/Pause
Double-click the MENU key to enter the main menu, move the cursor to the
"Track" column, and then press the right Arrow keys to move the cursor to the
"New", click ENT key to start recording the track, see Figure 21. After the track
record begins, the "New" into "Stop"; the "Record" into "Pause".
If move the cursor to the "Pause" on the left and click ENT key, the "Pause" will
changes
be into "Record" , then track record will be paused, Click ENT key at
the "Record" , the "Record" will be to the "Pause" , then it will continue
to record the .
Note: The track would not be recorded during the period of the pause, there
would be blank displayed on the charts, without track connection.

After the beginning of track record, even if it's under the pause state, move the
cursor to the "Stop", click ENT key to turn off the record. And will automatically
name the track record for the user to edit. At the beginning of track record, the
"scale ruler" on the chart screen will be a red background, otherwise be white.
Note: The status of starting, stopping or pausing the track record will be saved,
the orginal state before being shut down will be maintained.
Track record setting
Double-click the MENU key to enter the main menu, move the cursor to the
"Track" column, see Figure 22, the options for the track record method are as foll-
owing: "Mode" and "Interval". The "Mode" includes the two options: "Fill" and
"Wrap". The "Fill" modeis: When a track record is completed, the system will save
the current track and meanwhile start a new track record. The "Wrap" mode is:
When it reaches the 2100 track points for the current record, remove the track point
on the end of track line, and store the newest track point, make a cycle use of a
track's storage space.
Figure 22
Interval
The "" determines the span of the adjacent track points recorded, one is to
determine the span of track record by the "Time"; The other is to determine the
span of track record by the "Dist". Thus, the options for "" include:
the measurement of the record and the interval of the record. The measurement of
the record is , and the corresponding units of measurement are
hh:mm:ss
"" and "nm".
The "Time" mode for the track record is as following: it takes time as the mea-
sure unit for track record interval, and records 1 track point in a specific time int-
erval. The smallest time interval is 1 second, under the recording mode of time, the
track points which change less than 0.001 points at the latitude and longitude will
not be continuously recorded.
"Time" and "Dist"
14
Interval
The "Dist" mode for the track record is as following: it takes length as the measure
unit for track record interval, and records 1 track point in a specified distance range.
The smallest distance interval is 0.01 nm (about 18 m).
Choosing a suitable interval value for the track record can make a full use of the
track storage space, e.g., if take 0.5 nm (about 900 m) as the record interval, for a
track record of 2100 track points, it can record at least nm miles of the routes; If
sail at the speed of 10Knots, you can record the track points for 100 hours.
Note The track recording method can be changed during the track record; The
original state before being shut down will be maintained.
