Appendix D - Demonstration Mode
This enables the CDU to function as though you are under way, even though you are
completely stationary. The default setting is No. When set to Yes, all three Traffic Lights
will be illuminated, and a D symbol is displayed in the upper left corner of every display.
Generally speaking, this feature is used by SIMRAD and dealers for show room or trade
show demonstrations. However, you can use it as a training tool until you become
familiar with the CDU. You can also use it to output NMEA 0183 records on the data ports
to test other devices such as autopilots, chart plotters, and radars.
In the CFG Operation screen, activate the Demonstration Mode by selecting Yes.
Follow:
Active Route: causes the CDU to use the route loaded in RTE1 screen.
Rhumb Line: causes the CDU to follow the bearing you input in this screen under
Demonstration COG.
Demonstration SOG: causes the CDU to simulate a speed of up to 99 knots. Slower
speeds of 5 to 25 knots provide the best demonstration results.
Demonstration COG: causes the CDU to simulate a course over ground of up to 359.9
degrees when Follow is set to Rhumb Line.
To setup your course, load the desired waypoints into RTE1. Notice that the CDU loads
your point of departure as N 00, W 000.
Before you adjust your position, set your WPT Pass Criterion to Distance in the CFG1
Navigation screen. To adjust your position, pick a point near your first waypoint. A
distance of 1or 2 miles from the first waypoint is good to start with. Go to the POS1
screen and press EDIT.
Next, press the NAV function key, then the E key. Press the Reset XTE softkey. Press the
EDIT key. This resets your cross-track error and updates the active route in RTE1 with
the adjusted position.
