RANGE GATE AND TELEMETRY (Transponders & Responders Only) 

When telemetry is enabled the system also blank-gates on the telemetry reply. On the primary or 
navigation reply the TrackPoint accepts only the first signal arriving at the hydrophone following 
the opening of the blanking gate and ignores signals for 

≈

 80 milliseconds following it. When the 

telemetry gate opens the TrackPoint accepts the first signal at the telemetry frequency and all 
other signals are ignored until after the next interrogation. This is advantageous when operating in 
a high multi-path environment, insuring that the system locks on to the correct reply.  

FILTER LEVEL/TIME GATE (Pingers Only) 

For pingers the system uses a Time Gating system based on the targets entered repetition interval 
instead of the slant range as used in the range gating. Time gating eliminates any unwanted signal 
detections that occur at a time when no response is expected. Since the pinger repetition rate is 
entered and the reply interval is known, TrackPoint II can determine, within some short time inter-
val, when the next signal is expected and only allows signals which fall within their time window to 
be accepted for further processing. It depends upon accurate entry of repetition rates in the TAR-
GET sub-menu for proper tracking. The time gate is a function that compares the time between re-
plies against the entered repetition value. It accepts the first reply that arrives in a window 50 ms 
prior to the expected arrival of the signal (beginning of time window) and up to 50 ms after the ex-
pected arrival. It then ignores replies later than 50 ms after the calculated time gate window. If no 
replies are detected within a certain period, an error code #2 is flagged and the window opens up 
to find the reply.  

FILTER LEVEL/VELOCITY FILTER 

Velocity filtering is a technique of rejecting any target position changes that are unlikely due to an 
assumed maximum target velocity and elapsed time since last update.  It is based on the differ-
ence between the previous X and Y position (averaged, if smoothing is enabled) and the present 
targets X and Y position. If the present calculated position passes the velocity filter test it is then 
sent to the smoothing function.  If after a certain period of time there is no reply within the ex-
pected area then an error code #5 is flagged and the system opens up to find the reply. 

NOTE: 

 A fast-turning ship can cause the target to appear to be traveling at excessive 
speeds and be rejected by the velocity filter, when the compass option is not in use. 

Threshold: The Threshold key steps through five threshold settings for each target: As the thresh-
old level is increased, only stronger signals are accepted, and weak signals, which could be caused
