Sea State
Set the Sea State control according to current sea conditions for
best sea clutter rejection.
Rain clutter
Rain clutter is used to reduce the effect of rain, snow or other
weather conditions on the radar image. When you increase the
value, the sensitivity of the long distance field clutter caused by rain
is reduced. The value should not be increased too much as this may
filter out real targets.
If the precipitation is located over the ship's position, the
adjustment of rain clutter will affect the presentation of near echoes.
Tracking targets
Ú
Note:
This manual describes a variety of tracking options for
different radar systems. The available tracking options in your
system are dependent on your radar system's capabilities.
Ú
Note:
Tracking targets requires a good heading source and a
valid GPS position fix.
Any radar target within a preset range can be acquired and tracked.
The system displays targets in the radar panel based on the settings
you make in the menu and the vessels and tracked targets dialog.
You can set up tracking zones. Refer to
"Target tracking zones"
on page
116. The system will track targets that enter the zones, which meet
the settings you make in the vessels and tracked targets dialog.
An alert is triggered if the number of tracked targets exceeds
maximum system limitations and capacity. When the number of
targets exceed limits or capacity, only the targets closest to own
vessel will be displayed.
Target tracking zones
The target tracking zone function allows for automatic acquisition of
radar targets when they enter a user defined zone.
The guard zone function does not track targets automatically when
they enter the guard zone. The function only raises an alarm
specified for it when it enters the guard zone.
