Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I was tracking a target on my radar screen and it suddenly disappeared. What
happened to it?
A:
One of the most critical pieces of data for target acquisition is a stable and correct
heading value. MARPA or AIS targets are generally lost when the target is too
small, returning too weak of an echo, or the heading fluctuates too much. If you
experience lost targets on a consistent basis, you can create a recording of
your radar and send it to us for further troubleshooting. To start recording, right
click on the Radar window and select Record/Playback. Select Record, and the
software will ask you for a file name. The extension for the existing IR2 radar is
.RAD. Please zip your playback file and e-mail to support@nobeltec.com with a
description of your problem.
Q: My radar image occasionally looks “smeared”. What is causing this?
A: “ Smearing” of the radar image generally occurs due to one of two reasons
which include:
1) The PC is trying to do too many computations at one time (Nobeltec
recommends using at least a 1GHz system to prevent this).
2) As the radar changes ranges, there is a transition between the previous
pulse length the radar was using and the pulse length of the new range
setting. The transition between these two causes the “smearing” to occur.
Q: My vessel already has an existing network and I am trying to connect my InSight
Radar 2 into it but am having problems. What should I do?
A: There are a number of factors to consider when connecting the IR2 into an existing
network. Nobeltec has created a special document to cover issues related to
network installations. This guide can be downloaded or printed from the Nobeltec
website. To view this document, go to http://www.nobeltec.com/products/
