Select Radar for setting up general parameters of Processing signal :
1. Day Background Color: Determines the background color of the radar display
2. Night Background Color: Determines the background color of the radar display when
navigate by Night (only two colors Black and Dark Blue)
3. Echo Color: Determines echo color.
4. Echo Transparency for Overlay: Adjusts the intensity of echo transparency on the chart
(this does not affect the Radar Work Space)
5. Sweep Fade: The sweep fade displays a "traditional" radar animation. This feature
automatically reduces the brilliance of weak signals (noise, sea clutter, rain clutter, etc.) and
unnecessary echoes like radar interference.
6. EBL Reference: When set to "True", the EBL (Electronic Bearing Line) is referenced to the
North. When set to relative, the EBL is referenced to the bow of your vessel.
7. Rings Interval: You can manually adjust the number of Radar Range rings you want to
display in the Radar Work Space. Leave the option set to "Automatic" if you want TimeZero to
automatically adjust the number of rings according to the Radar Range and size of your
screen (or window).
8. Bearing Scale Mode: When set to "True", the Bearing Scale (numbers displayed on the
outer circle of the Radar Work Space) is referenced to the North. When set to relative, the
Bearing Scale is referenced to the bow of your vessel.
9. Own Ship Icon: Check this option if you want to display a real sized ship icon in the Radar
Work Space. Note that the ship icon will only appear at small range (according to your own
ship beam and width).
10. Trail: Echo trails show the movements of radar echos relative or true to your vessel. User
can determines the Trail color and the Trail shape (single or multi). The trails disappear
overtime (according to the "Trail Length" parameter). When set to "True" mode, only
objects that are moving in reference to the water (such as another ship) will show a trail on
the screen. Fixed objects on the water (such as buoys or a rock) will not show a trail even if
your own ship is moving. When set to "relative" mode, any objects that move relative to
your boat will leave a trail on the screen.
10. Trail Color : to change the default color. Select a color between Blue, Yellow, Green or
White.
11. Trail time: to change the Radar Echo's trail frequency.
12. Trail graduation: choose between multiple or single. If single is chosen the trail will be
displayed in full unique color.
13. Trail mode : choice between Relative (by default) or True. So if your own ship is moving
toward a stationary target (buoys for example), the target will leave a trail (smearing)
