How to Use the Sector Function

In some cases, you may want to restrict the scanning beam to a specific sector in re-
lation to your ship. A sector is a "slice" of the full scanning range.
Depending on the display mode selected, the sector setting behaves in a different
manner.

How to set and use a sector with horizontal mode

In Horizontal display mode, the SECTOR knob selects a preset width for the horizon-
tally scanned sector.
The setting range is 6° to 360° in 16 steps, as shown in the table below.

To increase the width, turn the SECTOR knob clockwise.
To decrease the width, turn the SECTOR knob counter-clockwise.
You can also alternate between full-range scan and half-range scan with the FULL/
HALF SECTOR key
The full-range scan shows 360° degree coverage around your ship and the half-range
scan shows a 168° area in the train direction (see section 1.11.2 for details on hori-
zontal train).
