Measuring the speed of a target
Measuring the speed of a target in strongest signal mode.
Point the Genesis-VP™ at a moving vehicle; pull and hold the trigger. While
the trigger is being held, the Genesis-VP™ is transmitting a signal and
measuring speeds. You should see a speed in the left window. This is the
speed of the vehicle returning the strongest signal. To lock the speed, simply
release the trigger and pull (and hold) it again quickly (within a half of a
second) and the current speed will be locked in the right window while the
left window continues to track the vehicle’s speed. To clear the locked speed,
either lock another speed in the same manner or release the trigger for more
than half a second and pull the trigger again.
Measuring the speed of a target in fastest vehicle mode.
The Genesis-VP™ can operate in one of two “fastest vehicle” modes,
selected in the secondary menu, fast-hold and fast-toggle. See section 2.3 on
Menus for changing to the other fastest vehicle mode.
Fast-hold style.
Point the Genesis-VP™ at two or more moving vehicles; pull and hold the
trigger. While the trigger is being held, the Genesis-VP™ is transmitting a
signal and measuring speeds. You should see the speed of the vehicle with
the strongest return signal displayed in the left window. To switch to fastest
vehicle mode press and hold the
FAST
button. You should now see the speed
of the strongest of the faster vehicles in the left window. You will remain in
fastest mode until you release the
FAST
button. To lock the speed, release
the trigger and pull it again quickly (within a half of a second) and the speed
in the left window will be locked in the right window while the left window
continues to track the fastest vehicle’s speed. To clear the locked speed,
either lock another speed in the same manner or release the trigger for more
than half a second and pull the trigger again. See sections 2.3 and 4.2.
