1.45 Interswitch
The interswitch of this radar uses an Ethernet to transfer video and control
signals. A digital signal transfers the video and control signals. You can connect
four antennas and eight display units. Set radar display and antenna groups
from the ANTENNA SELECT display.
When you switch to a different antenna, the heading skew and timing adjustment
(set at installation) for that antenna is automatically applied.
The ANTENNA box at the upper left position shows current antenna selection.
