Course-up Mode

An azimuth stabilized display in which a line connect-
ing the center with the top of the display indicates own
ship’s intended course (namely, own ship’s previous
heading just before this mode has been selected).
Target pips are painted at their measured distances
and in their directions relative to the intended course
which is maintained at the top of screen while the
heading line moves in accordance with ship’s yawing
and course changes. This mode is useful to avoid
smearing of picture during course change. After a
course change, press the [SHIFT] key to reset the
picture orientation if you wish to continue using the
course-up mode. The heading line gets back to
perpendicular.
