How to Acquire and Track Targets

This radar can automatically acquire and track a maximum of 100 targets.
A target just acquired automatically is marked with a dashed circle and a vector ap-
pears 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 time, the dashed circle changes to a solid circle.

How to manually acquire a target

Acquire a target from the Control Unit (RCU-014)
Use the trackball to place the cursor on the target you want to acquire, then press the
ACQ key.
Acquire a target by the trackball module
1. When the target to acquire and the AIS symbol overlap one another, right-click the
operational display area to show the [CURSOR MENU] then select [TT TARGET
DATA/ACQ] to acquire the target.
2. Place the cursor on the target to acquire then left-click.
The plotting symbol is drawn by a dashed circle during the initial acquisition stage. A
vector appears approximately one minute after acquisition. The vector indicates the
motion trend of the target. If the target is consistently detected for three minutes, the
plotting symbol changes to a solid circle. If acquisition fails, the target symbol blinks.
