Static Blanking Zones are used to mask segments of the scan rotation that are
obscured by the vessel’s superstructure. While the scanner passes through a
blanking zone, the laser is switched off to prevent unwanted reflections from
interfering with the scene data.
Viewing the Static Blanking Zones
The Blanking tab of the SceneScan Service Interface displays each of the
configured zones and their Start and Stop angles in degrees. In order to
distinguish one zone from another, clicking on a Show Zone n button will cause the
corresponding zone to be displayed in a different colour, along with the button itself.
Modifying the Static Blanking Zones
1. Click on the Resume button if the Sensor is suspended.
2. Ensure that no tracking is in progress.
3. Click on the Take Command button if the SceneScan Service Interface is not
already In Command.
4. On the Blanking tab, click on the Edit button.
5. Amend the blanking zone Start and Stop fields as necessary (if you wish to
delete a zone, set Start and Stop to the same value).
6. Click on Apply to save the changes or on Cancel to discard.
