Track Plotting Interval

The memory stores ship's position in latitude and longitude at a sampling rate
set on the OWN SHIP, TARGET PLOT menu. The position data so stored is
used to display past own ship's track on the screen. The memory for own ship
track and other ship track is 20,000 points each. The plotting interval affects
track reconstruction. A shorter interval provides more accurate reconstruction of
track, however storage time of the track is reduced. A longer interval stores more
track, however the track is less accurate.
The memory for own ship track is 20,000 points. The table below shows the
relation between plotting interval and maximum recording time. When the
storage capacity is exceeded oldest data is erased to make room of the latest.

time for each ship. Note that the track of ARPA targets 1 thru 10 may be
displayed. The track of ARPA targets 11 thru 30 cannot be displayed.
