Tracking Area Setup dialog box
Use the
Tracking Area
function to define the size of the area that you want to detect moving
objects in. An invisible area - the tracking area - is created as an acquisition area. In order
for the ST90 system to find and lock on the intended target, it needs to be kept within this
tracking area. If the intended target falls outside the area, the tracking can not be started. Use
the
Tracking Area Setup
dialog box to define or change the physical size of the tracking area.
Illustration:
A
Each
Tracking Area
option controls the distance from
the inner to the outer radius of the area.
B The width of the area is fixed, and stretches across
a predefined number of beams. This means that the
actual width depends on the distance from your vessel
to the area.
How to open
Select
Tracking Area
on the
Setup
menu, open the button
submenu, and select
Tracking Area Setup
.
