The main purpose of the RADAR task screen is to monitor surroundings on the Plan Position Indicator (PPI)
by using the radar signals. The PPI can also display information on targets received from the AIS and
electronic charts under the ship position. The RADAR task screen also shows information on the own ship.
The PPI can be presented in a standard circular form, or also in a square form.
The RADAR task screen consists of the Display Panel and Control Panel. In the RADAR task the layouts cant
be changed by the operator at will.
Diagrammatically, the layout of panels for a standard PPI for monitors 19, 23 inches can be shown as follows:
RADARtask screen with standard circular form of PPI for monitors 19, 23 inches:
Chapter 1. RADAR User Interface Radar User Interface Structure

For monitors 27 inches RADAR task screen can display the Conning Panel to the left of the PPI.
Diagrammatically the layout of the panels can be shown as follows:
RADARtask screen with standard circular form of PPI for monitors 27 inches:

With the screen resolution of 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 pixels, it is possible to select a widescreen layout
which looks like follows:
This layout has a square PPI and is fully compliant with the SOLAS requirements (standard IEC 62388), it contains
the same complete functionality as a standard PPI. Controls and displays are transferred from the Display Panel
to the Left Control Panel. The Right Control Panel corresponds to the Control Panel with a standard PPI. This
layout is used for monitors of 26 and 27 inches diagonally. Selection of the widescreen layout is made in the
System Configuration utility at the setup stage (see document Multi-Functional Display (v. 2.00.320). Installation
Guide Part I (edition 2), Chapter 2, section MFD Configuration, paragraph Workstation Settings, item 2).
RADARtask screen with square form of PPI for high resolutions:

With the screen resolution of 1024x768 and 1280x1024 pixels, it is possible to select a simplified layout which
looks like follows:
This layout has a square PPI and does not fully comply with the SOLAS requirements, since some of the
functions are excluded from it. Controls and displays are transferred from the Display Panel to the Control
Panel, and owing to the removal of some functions, the size of the display and control units has been increased.
This layout is used primarily for the 15 and17 inch monitors. Selection of the widescreen layout is made in the
System Configuration utility at the setup stage (see document Multi-Functional Display (v. 2.00.320). Installation
Guide Part I (edition 2), Chapter 2, section MFD Configuration, paragraph Workstation Settings, item 2).
