It is modified depending on the vessel type. If the ship has a single engine, the engine telegraph will have a
single handle. If the ship has two engines, the engine telegraph will have two handles (as shown in the
drawing). To work with one of the engines, use the mouse (tracker ball) to move the appropriate engine
telegraph handle. To work with both engines (portside and starboard) simultaneously, move the mouse in
the space between the handles.
Over the telegraph, there is an engine readiness indicator (Engine Ready) which shows that it is ready for
operation. For a more accurate setting of the engine telegraph handles, use the buttons with arrows and
digital displays arranged over the engine telegraph.
The engine operation is shown by the digital displays of the propeller shaft (shafts) rate of revolutions –
RPM and the propeller (propellers) pitch angle – Pitch (not for all the ships) as well as the analog Start Air
gauge.
To the top of the buttons with arrows and digital displays, there is the indicator of the clinometer.
