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 up to four an-
tennas and four display units. Set radar display and antenna groups from the [ANTEN-
NA SELECT] display.
When you switch to a different antenna, the heading skew and timing adjustment (set
at installation) for that antenna are automatically applied.
The [ANTENNA] box at the upper left position shows current antenna selection.
