How to Acquire and Track the Targets

Ten targets are acquired and tracked manually or automatically.
3.4.1

Manual acquisition

You can acquire a maximum of ten ARPA targets. When the automatic acquisition
([Auto Acquisition] on the [ARPA] menu) is set to on, you can manually acquire a max-
imum of five targets.
1. Use the CursorPad to put the cursor on the target to acquire.

The ARPA target symbol changes over time as shown below. A vector which indicates
the motion direction of the target appears approximately one minute after the acquisi-
tion.

Target number

[River] and [Sea] (Non-IEC system): An acquired target gets the youngest unused
number. When a target is lost and disappears from the number list, the next acquired
target takes the number of that lost target (ie: In a five-target list, if the target 2 is lost,
the next acquired target takes the number of target 2).
[IEC] and [Russian-River] (IEC system): An acquired target gets the youngest un-
used number. When a target is lost and disappears from the number list, the next ac-
quired target takes the next sequential number until reaching a maximum 10. If the
target number reaches a maximum 10, the next acquired target takes the number of
a previously lost target.
