7. SYSTEM OPERATION
7.0 OPERATING MODES
The Directional Golden Eagle II is designed to be the most
complete radar system ever developed for law enforcement
use. It has 11 different operating modes:
1. Stationary ALL Front Antenna
2. Stationary ALL Rear Antenna
3. Stationary Approaching Only Front Antenna
4. Stationary Approaching Only Rear Antenna
5. Stationary Receding Only Front Antenna
6. Stationary Receding Only Rear Antenna
7. Moving Opposite Direction Front Antenna
8. Moving Opposite Direction Rear Antenna
9. Moving Same Direction Front Antenna
10. Moving Same Direction Rear Antenna
11. Stopwatch
This provides the operator complete coverage in all traffic
situations.
In the stationary mode, the Directional Golden Eagle II
obtains speeds of target vehicles traveling in either
direction. In the moving mode, it can obtain speeds of
vehicles approaching the patrol vehicle from an opposite
direction, receding from the patrol vehicle (in the opposite
direction), speeds of vehicles traveling in the same direction
as the patrol vehicle, either in front of or behind the patrol
vehicle.
The Directional Golden Eagle II's stopwatch mode
calculates the speed of vehicles traveling between two
marks using time and distance.
