Mode-S MLAT locations and provide Virtual RADAR SERVER December 2020.

Check PilotAware transmission to and from the ATOM-GRID Ground Station.
To check that the ATOM GRID ground station is working, power up a PilotAware unit outside
and in the immediate location. Ensure that you have configured the PilotAware Unit to show
ground stations. This is done on the Rosetta configure page.
Once the Rosetta has booted up;
1.
The number of ground stations in view will be shown in the top right hand of the
Rosetta RADAR Screen. This will normally be 1.
2.
The ground station will be shown as an ICON in the centre of the RADAR screen. (You
must have selected show ground stations on your PilotAware Rosetta to see this).
3.
The OGN-R station will appear in the list in the Rosetta Traffic Page
4.
The PilotAware with ICAO number, Altitude and Distance will be recorded on the
ATOM GRID Virtual RADAR Screen. In the diagram below it is shown a MLAT-TEST
but it will show whatever the flight ID of your PilotAware unit has been set to.
The ATOM table shown below is similar to what you will see on the ATOM GRID Home Page.
At the top of the page is the menu to gain access to the other pages.
METAR
shows the data for airfields limited to 150Kms away.
RADAR
accesses the ATOM Virtual RADAR Page.
Login
takes you to the software shell to configure the software and run diagnostic
programmes.
