Interswitch
On a conventional radar system the Interswitch
sub-menu is divided into the following areas:
Request for Display and Status.
On a Dual Radar system or Client/Server Radar
system the Interswitch sub menu will show
slightly different information, see Interswitch on
Dual Radar and Interswitch on Client/Server
Radar for details.
Request for Display
The Request for Display area lists the
Transceivers fitted to the system with their alpha
identifier. The transceivers available for selection
are highlighted; transceivers that are unavailable
for selection are greyed out.
Up to six transceivers can be connected to up to
six displays. The number of transceivers that
may be set up is dependent on the interswitch
status as follows:
When no interswitch is fitted to the system:
•
the Master/Slave selection is fixed at
commissioning with the system defaulting
to Master.
•
the transceiver identification is fixed at A.
When an interswitch is fitted to the system:
•
the master/slave display, display identifier and transceiver
identification are determined from the interswitch.
•
if the interswitch is two-way then only transceivers A and B may be
set up.
•
if the interswitch is six-way then all transceivers A, B, C, D, E and
F may be set up.
To select the Master or Slave status of the available transceiver click the
relevant radio button.
Status
The Status area displays the current transceiver settings for each Display
set at the Request for Display area. Transceivers not available are shown
greyed out and default to Slave.
