automatically and manually acquired targets determined by the TT TARGET
menu setting.

A target just acquired automatically is marked with a broken square and a vector
appears within one minute to indicate the target's motion trend. Within three
minutes, the initial tracking stage is finished and the target becomes ready for
stable tracking. At this point, the broken square mark changes to a solid circle.
(Targets automatically acquired are distinguished from those acquired manually.
The targets which are acquired manually are displayed with a thicker line.)
