RADARPILOT / CHARTRADAR
WARNING:
Under particularly unfavourable meteorological conditions, it can
happen even with an optimum setting of the radar that targets in the
radar video cannot be detected automatically.
7.3 Manual Target Acquisition
1. Click on the ACQ-TGT button (= Acquire Target); the button
flashes.
2. Acquire the target video by clicking. For as long as the ACQ TGT
button is flashing, more targets can be acquired in the same way.
3. The acquisition function of the cursor is switched off by clicking into the PPI by means of the MORE
key or by clicking again (with the DO key) on the ACQ TGT button.
☞ When the 48th target is acquired, an indication appears, stating that only another two targets can be
acquired. After the 50th target has been acquired, an indication appears, stating that no more targets
can be acquired. Now at the latest, uncritical targets should be deleted.
7.4 Automatic Target Acquisition; Settings of the Acquisition/Guard Zone
Two acquisition/guard zones are available; they are independent of one another.
Each acquisition/guard zone consists of a segment of a circle which moves along with own ship as its
centre. The depth of the segment is 1 NM in each case. Its diameter (range) and angle can be adjusted.
Switching the Acquisition/Guard Zone On and Off
The acquisition/guard zone is switched on and off by clicking on the
area 1 or 2.
☞ If the acquisition/guard zone is switched off, automatic target
acquisition does not take place. Targets already acquired
continue to be tracked.
Setting the Range of the Acquisition/Guard Zone
Click on the inner or outer limit of the acquisition/guard zone, drag
the zone to the desired size, and press the DO key.
☞ The outer limit can be set to a value between 1.1 NM and
20 NM.
Setting the Angle of the Acquisition/Guard Zone
Click on a side limit of the acquisition/guard zone, drag the zone to
the desired angle, and press the DO key.
☞ The angle can be set to a value between 5° and 360°. The
setting takes place relative to the heading direction, i.e. the
acquisition/guard zone turns with the ship’s heading.
