range, the elevation is adjusted by the Delta Elevation Angle. Upon the completion of Number of

Rows, the direction of elevation scan is reversed (up-down-up-down…)

The elevation scan is defined by:

• Base Elevation Angle

• Number of Rows

• Delta Elevation Angle

5.3.3.3 Scan Speed Control

Auto Scan is a learning algorithm that tries to set the optimum motor speed dynamically to insure

the desired overlap in azimuth beam positions. It evaluates the min and max ranges for each

angle and the processing speed to determine the best speed setting. It works best for very wide

sector scans and 360° rotation. The Auto Scan control parameters include;

• Enable/disable Auto Scan Speed

• Required Coverage% (1-100%)

• Speed Steps

Also displayed in this area are;

• Actual Coverage %

• Current Scan Rate (deg/sec).
