Product Loops

[Information about the Product Loops]  |  [Instructions for saving a loop]
 
Important Notes:
  • You must have Java enabled in your browser to view the loops. If you are seeing a big 'X' or an error message such as'Applet AniS...' instead of a loop then it is likely that Java has not been enabled or installed. Click here for more information.

  • Those with dial-up internet connections should select the "3 days" option to minimize download time.   An average 3 day loop of ~1.5 MB will typically download in 10 to 15 minutes with a slow connection.   A typical broadband connection will download a 14 day loop of ~6.5 MB within a minute.

  • The Low Resolution / Standard Frame option should be chosen (where applicable) for printing charts to a standard printer.

  • Click "Click to open and close" to open and expand categories, and "Click to open and close" to close and contract them.
