Acquiring Targets
This function is only available during RealTime operation only.
The 852-GS allows the operator to select a target of interest and automatically center the sector on and scan
about that target on screen. The procedure is as follows:
1.
Ensure the gyro is enabled and in “Target Steering” mode. The sonar will automatically perform a
motor calibration upon entering this mode in order to re-align the sonar and transducer to a known
point (zeroing the system). Note that target acquisition may be instigated at any time while
“
Target
Steering
” mode is active
2.
Select the button “
Acquire Target
”. The mouse cursor will change to
3. Select the desired target on screen. The screen will automatically change to a top sector view,
defaulted to a 120° sector, and the target will be centered within the sector:
“
Acquire Target
” was selected and the mouse cursor
changed to the selection cursor. The target cursor is
positioned over the target of interest and left mouse button
clicked.
After the desired target was selected, the screen
automatically centered the target within a sector and rotated
the sector to the top of the screen. The sonar will now scan
the sector with the target centered.

” to remove the sector restrictions and train angle.
