Spanish term or phrase: Virar cabo
En el texto que estoy traduciendo, aparecen los modos de funcionamiento de un sistema PID. En el se dice que la máquina tiene dos modos de funcionamiento diferentes. LOCAL y AUTO. En la descripción del modo Local aparece lo siguiente:

Modo LOCAL: Permite largar o virar cabo empleando el Joystick (moviendo el brazo hacia adelante o hacia atrás).

¿Cómo traduzco virar cabo?

Un saludo.

In nautical terms, rope is never used. It is always a line.

agree  Robert Carter: While line may be more common, rope is equally correct, according to various maritime dictionaries. I got 20,100 hits for "haul in the rope". A line is a rope with a specific purpose or length. Saludos.

  -> No, Robert. The nautical term is line.
