WARNINGS

HIGH VOLTAGE
Radar equipment requires the use of high voltage, which can cause injury, or
loss of life. Danger exists only when the units are opened exposing internal
circuits, as when servicing the equipment. The Manufacturer Radar has been
carefully designed to protect personnel from possible injury from high voltages.
Nevertheless, it is recommended that the Line Switch always be opened as an
added protection when inspecting or servicing the equipment.
Although every effort has been made to eliminate danger to personnel, no
responsibility is accepted for any injury or loss of life suffered in connection with
this equipment.

X-RAY RADIATION
X-RAY radiation may be generated by Transceiver units and care must be
taken to avoid possible harmful effects when they are opened for maintenance.
When power is on, care should be taken not to approach closer than 1 ft. from
the unit unless front cover is in place.

RADIO-FREQUENCY RADIATION
Harmful effects (particularly to the eyes) may be caused by exposure of any
part of the human body to radio-frequency mean power densities in excess of
100 mW/cm2. This power density is exceeded at a distance of 1 ft. or less, from
the 12 ft. X-Band aerial (when stationary).
The system is however designed to disable radiation when the antenna is not
rotating.
The pedestals have also been predisposed for the installation of an external
safety switch, which can be mounted on, or near the platform. This switch
removes power from the Pedestal eliminating the possibility of accidental
operation during servicing and also causes disabling of transmission.
Whenever it is necessary to disconnect the waveguide system from a radar
transmitter for maintenance purpose, the transmitter output should, when
practicable, be terminated in a matched load. If this is not possible, care should
be taken to avoid standing in front of an open-ended waveguide from which
power is being radiated.
NEVER look down a waveguide from which power is being radiated.

SAFETY SWITCH
The Unit is provided of a safety switch, which disable the Antenna movement
during maintenance operations.

INSTALLATION AND SETTING

CHAPTER 1
INSTALLATION AND SETTING

1.1 Guidelines for the installation of


shipborne radar equipment

Information provided by radar is of vital importance for navigators and the safe
navigation of ships.

Special care should be taken to ensure the correct installation of the radar, in
order to improve the performance of the radar system.

Correct location of the radar antenna is an important factor of the performance


of the radar System. Interference, either by reflecting constructions or other
transmitters, may heavily reduce the radar performance by creating blind
sectors, clutter on the radar display or generation of false echoes.

1.2 Interference

Due care should be taken with regard to the location of radar antennas relative
to other antennas which may cause interference to either equipment. The
location of the antenna should comply with the following:

The radar antenna should be installed safely away from interfering high-power
energy
sources and other transmitting and receiving radio antennas.

The lower edge of a radar antenna should be a minimum of 500 mm above any
safety rail.

Radar antennas in dose proximity should have a minimum vertical elevation


separation angle of 20° and a minimum vertical separation of 1 m where
possible.

1.1 Rev. E
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
INSTALLATION AND SETTING

1.2.1 Location relative to masts, funnels and


other constructions

Due care should be taken with regard to the location of radar antennas relative
to masts, funnels and other constructions.

The location of the antenna should comply with the following:


The antenna should generally be mounted clear of any structure that may
cause signal reflections.
Ensure that any support or other obstacles are clear of the rotation of the
antenna (see specific antenna outline drawing for rotational radius).
Install antenna and turning unit so that the installation complies with the
compass safe distance for the equipment.

1.2.2 Blind sectors and range

To make full benefit from the radar, it is vitally important for the OOW that
horizontal and vertical blind sectors for the radar antennae are minimized. The
objective is to see the horizon freely through 360° as nearly as possible.

For all radar systems and where practical, a line of sight from the radar antenna
to the bow of the ship should hit the surface of the sea in not more than 500 m
or twice the ship length, depending which value is smaller, for all load and trim
conditions.

The radar antenna should be located in an elevated position to permit


maximum target visibility.

Waterline

Ideal Radiation Plane

1.2 Rev. E
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
INSTALLATION AND SETTING

Blind sectors should be kept to a minimum, and should not occur in an area of
the horizon from right ahead to 22.5° abaft the beam to either side.

Note: Any two blind sectors separated by 3° or less should be treated as one
blind sector.

Individual blind sectors of more than 5°, or a total are of blind sectors of more
than 20°, should not occur in the remaining are, excluding the are
in the above subparagraph (e).

For radar installations with two radar systems, where possible, the antennas
should be placed in such a way as to minimize the blind sectors.

RADAR Antenna
Obstruction
(ex: funnel)

Blind Sector

Coastline

All installations should facilitate protection of equipment, including cabling, from


damage.

Safe service access should be provided using service platforms where


necessary having a minimum size of 1 m 2 at a suitable height and with a
safety rail of suitable height.

Consideration should be given to the compass safety distance as supplied by


the manufacturer when positioning equipment units.

The design of the mounting platform for the antenna and antenna pedestal
should take into account the vibration requirements of resolution A.694(17) and
furthermore defined by IEC 60945. In addition to vibration, the design of the
mounting platform should consider shock and whiplash due to seagoing
conditions.

1.3 Rev. E
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
INSTALLATION AND SETTING

1.2.3 Interaction with sea and false echoes

Considerations of interaction with the sea imply that the radar antenna should
be only as high as necessary to clear major objects, and as high to be
consistent with other requirements regarding acceptable horizon and target
detection range. The location of the antenna should minimize sea clutter
returns and the-number of multi-path nulls.

1.2.4 Cables and grounding

The cables and the grounding should comply with the following:

Cable screens, especially coaxial cable screens, should be installed in


accordance with manufacturer's documentation.

The cables should be kept as short as possible to minimize attenuation of the


signal.

All cables between antenna and radar System units should be routed as directly
as possible, consistent with consideration for other equipment, in order to
reduce electromagnetic interference effects. Cables should not be installed
dose to high-power lines, such as radar or radio-transmitter lines.

Crossing of cables should be done at right angles (90°) to minimize magnetic


field coupling.

All outdoor installed connectors should be waterproof by design to protect


against water penetration into the cables.

Cables and microwave transmission lines should not be exposed to sharp


bends.

Cables and microwave transmission lines should be installed with sufficient


physical separation, as defined in the manufacturer's documentation.

INSTALLATION AND SETTING

1.2.5 Radar controls controls and display

If the control panel is a separate unit, the functionality of the radar controls
should be available for the mariner at all workstations where a radar display is
available.

The orientation of the display unit should be such that the user is looking
ahead. The lookout view should not be obscured and the ambient light should
cause minimum degradation on the display screen in accordance with
MSC/Circ.982.

WARNING

LONG TRANSMISSION LINES, COAXIAL CABLES FOR S-BAND AND


WAVEGUIDE FOR X-BAND DOWN MAST TRANSCEIVER CAN AFFECT
THE RADAR PERFORMANCE. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN TESTED WITH
20M LENGTH FROM TRANSCEIVER TO THE ANTENNA PEDESTAL,
CONSIDER THAT TRANSMITTED/RECEIVED POWER ARE HALVED
FOR EVERY 10 MS ADDED (EX: +20M = -6DB SIGNAL/NOISE).
CLEARLY THIS AFFECTS DETECTION FOR FAR TARGETS AND FOR
SMALL/LOW REFLECTIVITY ONES LIKE SAIL SHIPS.
HIGHEST MAST POSITION IS GOOD FOR LONG RANGE DETECTION
BUT IT AFFECTS HEAVILY THE DETECTION IN SEA CLUTTER, FOR
OPTIMAL DETECTION IN SEA CLUTTER SUGGESTED ANTENNA
HEIGHT FROM SEA LEVEL IS AROUND 20M.
USUALLY THE CONTRADICTORY SPECIFICATIONS ARE SOLVED
WITH INSTALLATION OF MORE THAN ONE ANTENNA, FOR EXAMPLE
ONE AT 30M FOR LONG RANGE DETECTION AND ONE AT 20 M FOR
OPTIMAL DETECTION OF LOW INTENSITY ECHOES IN SEA
CLUTTER.
S-BAND TRANSCEIVER USE IS ALWAYS THE OPTIMAL CHOICE FOR
REDUCING RAIN CLUTTER REFLECTIONS AND INCREASE LONG
RANGE DETECTION LONGER ANTENNAS FOR X-BAND ARE LESS
SUSCEPTIBLE TO RAIN AND SEA CLUTTER.

WARNING

ONLY ELECTRONIC POSITIONING SYSTEMS (EPFS) APPROVED IN


ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE IMO IN
RESOLUTION MSC.112(73) SHALL BE CONNECTED TO THE SELUX-

INSTALLATION AND SETTING

1.5 Analogue Gyrocompass (Synchro or


Stepper)

The gyro signals are connected to TB14 on the Alpha PCB. There are several
possibilities of connections depending on the type and reference voltage of the
gyro.

Refer to the drawing below for the relevant configuration for Synchro and
Stepper.

Fig 1 For Selux (ALPHA PCB) connect to TB14.

Note: Connection with stepper gyro full wave rectified signal (SPERRY MK-37,
MK-20)

1. Close the jumpers P10, P13, P15 on the Alpha PCB;

2. make the interconnection to TB4 on the Alpha PCB as follow:

INSTALLATION AND SETTING

3. Follow the configuration instructions described in Chapter 3

4. Check the phases status trough the LED on the Alpha PCB.

The three phases are given by the gyro with a 3 bit Gray code. The purpose of
this code is to detect the increment of the value and its sign; its most important
characteristic is that only one of the three bits at the time can change and in
this application (normally is not a characteristic of the Gray code), the 3 bits
cannot have all the same level. To give a quick look to the Gray code see the
four green LED on the Alpha:

1. The first one next to red LED is D33 and it indicates the first phase (S1).
2. The second one is D34 and it is the second phase indicator (S2).
3. The third one is D35 and it indicates the third phase (S3).
4. The last one is D36 and it is to indicate the Reference.

Now that the LED are individuated move the gyro or anyway simulate a steering
and the three LEDs (S1, S2 and S3) will start to change their state and will be
easy to observe that they will be never all on or all off and only one of them at
the time will change its state.

1.6 Serial Gyro

A Standard or Fast NMEA Gyro can be connected on Alpha PCB TB9

Connect it according the guidelines defined in Chapter 2 Serial Interfaces.

WARNING

THE HEADING SENSOR, A GYRO EQUIPMENT OR EQUIVALENT, SHOULD


BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN A RATE OF TURN UP TO 20°/S ACCORDING TO
IMO RESOLUTION MSC.192(79) AND MSC.116(73) FOR THD DEVICES.
IF THE INTERFACE IS ANALOGUE THE MINIMUM TURN RATE SHOULD
BE 12°/S.
FOR A DIGITAL INTERFACE THE HEADING REFRESH SHOULD BE MORE

1.7 Speed LOG

In case of analogue signal the speed log is connected to TB14 on the Alpha
PCB. There are several connections depending on the type of log installed.
Most of the single axis analogue speed logs are shorting-type (relays contact),
in this case the signal shall be connected between PIT and GND on TB14.

In case of NMEA signal the speed log also can be connected to Alpha PCB
input TB2.See the serial interface chapter for accepted sentences.

of this serial line sends some data and it shall be connected.

NOTE
Supported EPFS equipment must follow the IMO
recommendation MSC.114(73)

1.9 AIS
The AIS signal is connected to TB8 on the Alpha PCB.
It's possible to receive RS422 or RS232 standard signal only at 38400 bps. The
sentences accepted are: AIALR, AIVDM and AIVDO.

NOTE
it is also possible to connect the output from the RADAR to the
AIS device, to acknowledge the alarms coming from AIS from
the RADAR interface. Normally the AIS equipments have only
one input available, so that only one RADAR can be connected
to it and it will be only one able to acknowledge the alarms.
This output is on the same serial port TB8 with only sentence
generated: AIACK

The same output, is the source for tracking data sentences TTD and TLB.

1.11 Radar Console Failure Output


For installation where a continuous check of the radar console operability is
mandatory a failure output is available.
The FAIL output is located on TB1 over the Alpha PCB and it is a NC contact
that can supply more than 100mA of current (see Input/Output specification at
this Chapter’s introduction).
A special electronic circuit on the Antares PCB acts continuously as a watchdog
to detect any operational failure that can cause a processor malfunction.
For this reason and also when the console is powered-off the contact switches
to closed condition.

GNS – GNSS fix data

Fix data for single or combined satellite navigation systems (GNSS). This sentence provides
fix data for GPS, GLONASS, possible future satellite systems and systems combining these.
This sentence could be used with the talker identification of GP for GPS, GL for GLONASS,
GN for GNSS combined systems, as well as future identifiers. Some fields may be null fields
for certain applications, as described below.

If a GNSS receiver is capable simultaneously of producing a position using combined


satellite systems, as well as a position using only one of the satellite systems, then separate
$GPGNS, $GLGNS, etc. sentences may be used to report the data calculated from the
individual systems.

If a GNSS receiver is set up to use more than one satellite system, but for some reason one
or more of the systems are not available, then it may continue to report the positions using
$GNGNS, and use the mode indicator to show which satellite systems are being used.

NOTE 1
Mode Indicator. A variable length valid character field type with the first two
characters currently defined.

The first character indicates the use of GPS satellites, the second character indicates the
use of GLONASS

satellites. If another satellite system is added to the standard, the mode indicator will be
extended to three

characters; new satellite systems shall always be added to the right, so the order of
characters in the mode

indicator is: GPS, GLONASS, other satellite systems.

The characters should take one of the following values:

N = No fix. Satellite system not used in position fix, or fix not valid.

A = Autonomous. Satellite system used in non-differential mode in position fix.

D = Differential. Satellite system used in differential mode in position fix.

P = Precise. Satellite system used in precision mode. Precision mode is defined as: no
deliberate degradation

(such as selective availability), and higher resolution code (P-code) is used to compute
position fix.

R = Real time kinematic. Satellite system used in RTK mode with fixed integers.

F = Float RTK. Satellite system used in real time kinematic mode with floating solution.

define the datum to which a position location, and geographic locations in subsequent
sentences, are referenced. Latitude, longitude and altitude offsets from the reference datum,
and the selection of the reference datum, are also provided.

Cautionary notes: the datum sentence should be transmitted immediately prior to


every positional sentence (e.g. GLL, BWC, WPL) which is referenced to a datum other
than WGS84, the datum recommended by IMO.

For all datums the DTM sentence should be transmitted prior to any datum change
and periodically at intervals of not greater than 30 s.

A variable number of waypoint identifiers, up to "n", may be included within
the limits of allowed sentence
length. As there is no specified number of waypoints, null fields are not
required for waypoint identifier fields.

NOTE 2
A single route may require the transmission of multiple sentences, all
containing identical field formats when sending a complex message. The
first field specifies the number of sentences, minimum value = 1. The
second field identifies the order of this sentence (sentence number),
minimum value = 1. For efficiency, it is permitted that null fields be used in
the additional sentences when the data is unchanged from the first
sentence.

MWV – Wind speed and angle

When the reference field is set to R (Relative), data is provided giving the wind angle in
relation to the vessel's bow/centreline and the wind speed, both relative to the (moving)
vessel. Also called apparent wind, this is the wind speed as felt when standing on the
(moving) ship.

When the reference field is set to T (Theoretical/calculated wind), data is provided giving the

wind angle in relation to the vessel's bow/centreline and the wind speed as if the vessel was

stationary. On a moving ship, these data can be calculated by combining the measured
relative wind with the vessel's own speed.

Example 1 If the vessel is heading west at 7 knots and the wind is from the east at 10 knots

the relative wind is 3 knots at 180°. In this same example the theoretical wind is 10 knots at

180° (if the boat suddenly stops the wind will be at the full 10 knots and come from the stern
of

the vessel 180° from the bow).

Example 2 If the vessel is heading west at 5 knots and the wind is from the southeast at 7,07

knots the relative wind is 5 knots at 270°. In this same example the theoretical wind is 7,07

knots at 225° (if the boat suddenly stops the wind will be at the full 7,07 knots and come
from the port-quarter of the vessel 225° from the bow).

RADAR CONFIGURATION

Examples:

1:360 means that each stepper or synchro cycle corresponds to 1 degree and 1 complete
360° turn correspond to 360 cycles. For this setup the gyro resolution will be 1/6°

1:36 means that each stepper or synchro cycle corresponds to 10 degree, and 1 complete

360° turn correspond to 36 cycles.

Normally with most of the Gyro types the Gyro Ratio is 1:360.

Other settings are available with analogue gyro: one is the “Reference generated
Internally” checkbox that is the usual setup with stepper compass.

When the reference signal to sample phases is external the checkbox should not be
activated.

Another checkbox “Negative Phases” is available in stepper mode and it should be


checked when the voltage on phase is going from zero to negative.

The S1, S2, S3 symbols can be highlighted and reflect exactly the same gyro phases
states described on the analogue gyro section.

The user manual explains the analogue gyro interface operation.

In any case consider that this kind of interface doesn’t permit same level phases, or no
reference signal connected (synchro mode). Every failure caused by these malfunctions
will be cleared only with a Gyro Preset operation.

The gyro preset is necessary also because this kind of interface is not absolute but
receives only incremental pulses and needs a preset value taken when the ship’s heading
is stable.

3.8.2 Transceiver Communication Type
Pressing the B button of fig. 3.7.1 is possible to adjust amplitude and slope of the TXRX
Pre-STC. The range scale is automatically set to 0.75 NM. Amplitude and slope can be
adjusted using the up and down arrow. This adjustment optimises the minimum visible
distance and it can affect the auto-tuning performance for TXRX not derived from SRT.

Connecting the probe of the oscilloscope to the pin STC of TB13 of the RTM Control B

PCB (the connector of the I.F. Amplifier, normally the blue wire), the PRESTC ramp will
be display on the scope.

The Amplitude shall be adjusted to be about 4 - 4.2V.

The Slope shall be adjusted to be about 2 - 3 µs.

The PRESTC is not a video processing to be used continuously during the normal
operating, but it is a fixed STC curve stored in the TXRX to suppress enough the
main bang and the too close echoes that otherwise would be in saturation. This
adjustment is normally perfectly performed at the testing in the factory, and shall be

NOTE
the performance monitor is a facility used to understand the goodness of
the transceiver, so it is very important that it is made one time at the

3.8.5 Magnetron timer reset

When the magnetron is replaced and only when it is replaced, the Service Engineer
should reset the timers of the transceiver so that at the next service will be possible to
check how many hours the new magnetron transmitted and in which pulse and PRF and
consequently understand if it is really still new or has to be change again.

The magnetron timers can be reset by pressing the "F" button of Fig 3.7.1 , and accepting

The Selux system gives a System Warning if the magnetron is on the limit of the end of its
life. A "Magnetron EOL" (End Of Life) will be displayed under the TXRX field in the System
Status Display Menu.

Everything described in this paragraph is valid only in case of RTM Control B PCB
on board of the transceiver (TXRX software version 54 or higher). If this is not the
case, if the magnetron is replaced, it is kindly requested to write down the value of
the Main TX timer (which is placed on the Transformer assy of the transceiver) on a

RADAR CONFIGURATION
3.9.1 Trigger Delay
Press the A button of fig. 3.9.1 to adjust the Trigger Delay. The Trigger delay is caused by
the path length mismatch for the trigger and video signal.
The video path delay is much longer because it's the result of the transmission trough the
waveguide to the antenna and backwards.
The delay depends from the length and type of waveguide used in the installation.
The range scale is automatically set to 0.25 NM. Press the arrow buttons in order to
enlarge or squeeze the picture and adjust the delay between video and trigger from 0
meters to a maximum of 384 meters.
The delay adjustment is visible in real time on the PPI around the ship.
The picture on the right shows two different samples of wrongly adjusted trigger delay:

• in the n.1 it is clear that the dock, or the pier is


attracted to the centre, the video is too squeezed, so
the delay value is too high;

• in the n.2 the dock, or the pier is made farer from the centre, the video is too
enlarged, so the delay value is too low.

NOTE
For SRT transceivers it also possible to change the delay to negative
numbers. In this case the trigger from the TXRX will be anticipated in time
in respect to the video. This negative setting is needed when trigger and
video are passing trough long coaxial cables with different propagation
times, the video cable being the slowest one.
That usually happens for all installations with an SRT Adapter Box as
buffer amplifier and cable lengths more than 150 meters.

3.9.2 QV (Quantized Video)Threshold

Pressing the B button of fig. 3.9.1 is possible to set the QV. The threshold is used by the
automatic tracking to identify real radar echoes from receiver noise. This value depends
from the receiver noise, from the transceiver band, from the video cable attenuation. This
value can be set manually adjusting the noise level to see some points visible at 24 NM
range scale.

This adjustment is really subjective, and the receiver gain changes with the selected pulse
length, with the weather, the humidity and so on, so the preferred solution is to activate
the Auto Threshold. With this selection the automatic tracking software measures the PFA
(Probability of False Alarm) and calculates the correct threshold for the optimum detection
performance.

3.15 Software Upgrade


Pressing the SW Upgrade push button the following menu will be displayed. If you need to
upgrade the software of the Selux console choose the Console Update file you are
interested to (normally the latest).

All Selux-ST software update packages are named as:

SeluxST-pkg-X.Y.-YEARMONTHDAY

Where X.Y usually is the version and revision of the main application program (MMI) and
the Year Month Day number identifies the creation time of the package. The zipped files
cannot be used and they should be decompressed before transferred in the memory
stick.
Other updates are available like the srt-update-X.Y.-YEARMONTHDAY and they will be
automatically recognized as upgrade files for the SRT and transferred accordingly.

Press the "USB Selection -> System" push button to start the Upgrade.

Another menu window will be displayed with two progress bars showing the state of the
upgrade on each processor of the Antares PCB (A and B).
The operator just needs to wait until the progress bars shows the notice "Success.
Software Updated".
Note that is possible to read the value 100% in the progress bar, but the upgrading
is not terminated until the notice previously notice appears.
To run the new software reset the system by the Restart button in the Radar Setup Menu
or just by resetting the Antares Assy.

Simulation.
The first part of this menu is dedicated to simulation facilities. Is possible to
simulate:

Figure 4.1.1 Debug and simulation menù

• Trigger, if the transceiver is in failure is possible to test most of the


functions of the display just choosing a PRF to be simulated, in the first
row of the menu.

• Antenna, if not available for some reasons, just pressing "Antenna Sim
Off” and setting the correct antenna speed.

• Speed Log, when speed log is not working, just by selecting this window

DEBUG AND SIMULATION FACILITIES

WARNING

THAT THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS MANUAL SPEED, THIS IS A SIMULATION AND IF
YOU CHOOSE THIS FACILITY THE SYSTEM WILL ALSO STOP TO LISTEN TO THE
EVENTUAL EPFS CONNECTED AND WILL CALCULATE THE SHIP POSITION
USING THE SPEED YOU INSERTED.

• Gyro, when this function is selected, the gyrocompass function is


simulated. The adjacent window serves to vary the angle between the
ship and geographic north.
• Video: selecting this window reproduces the interferences and
background noises relevant to the situation to be simulated.

• Tracking: video simulation of a maximum of 40 targets to test the


tracking function.

Video Selection.
This facility is used only to make some test in the system and is strictly
recommended to return it back to the "Raw Video" at the and of the test.

• Raw Video: Is the normally presented video.

• Quantized Video: It is the on-off video used by the ARPA to make the
tracking. Could be necessary to visualize the Q.V. to see if the ARPA sees
all the echoes and if the Q.V. threshold is correctly adjusted or if the auto
adaptive one works at satisfaction. To understand if it is working fine there
should be all the echoes visible in raw video plus some noise points
around.

Figure 4.1.2 Video view

• Video Plot: On the PPI will be displayed only the video of the plotted
targets. Could be necessary to use it to when the ARPA loses an
acquired target, to see if under the plot is present under the acquired
target.

In the picture the video plots are the yellow echoes under the tracks and there
are displayed the tracking windows also (the light brown rectangles).

• Video Test: On the PPI will be displayed only the video generated by the
Training function, available in the ARPA and AIS Menu. It is interesting
to see it when using the Training function. In the picture is present a
flashing cyan drawn cross on the plot, this means that it is the training
target. The light brown rectangle is the tracking window, normally not
displayed.

• Anti Sea Clutter: On the PPI will be displayed some concentric circles
filled with different levels of yellow colour, showing the intensity of the
threshold of clutter suppression, according to the used shape.

In the zone of the strongest yellow the anti sea clutter suppresses more video
than in the zone of the light brown. By increasing the STC control the circles will
enlarge themselves indicating that the clutter suppression is moved out in
range.

Tracking Window.
By activating this control it will be possible to see the windows where the
tracking is looking for the plot. For more information regarding the tracking
windows refer to the Video Selection section and see the Video Plot and Video
Test pictures.

By this function the user can select five kinds of video visualization, such as:

• Scan Combined = Shows the combination of all the video banks.


• Scan A Bank = Shows radar video of bank A.
• Scan B Bank = Shows radar video of bank B.
• Scan RT Bank = Shows radar video of the Relative Trails bank.
• Scan TT Bank = Shows radar video of the True Trails bank.

Special Features.
By pressing the relevant button the system will ask for a password. There are
more than one special features in the system, and every one has a different
password. Please contact Consilium Selesmar for further information.

Video Oscilloscope.
This button opens a menu in which is possible to see the video input of the
Antares p.c.b., this facility is meant to see the video amplitude.
The video will be sampled at the EBL position each scan and the VRM mark will
be displayed as a range reference.
The oscilloscope can be configured in Spread mode where the video is
sampled equally spaced sixteen times a scan.
