4.4.7 Inter-switch
To view pictures of other radars of FAR-2xx7 series connected to the LAN, switch the
radar No. (ANT NO.) to the number of the radar that you desire to view. On the
switched picture, you can perform operations such as STC, and Range change. For these
inter switch functions, the IP address linked with the set radar number is used. See
p.4-19 for the setting of the radar number. Basically, it uses that the transfer of pictures
are UDP, and then commands such as key operation are TCP.
To check the information of the radar antenna connected to the LAN, open the [ANT-X]
box menu. You can check BAND, MODEL and POS information of radars (1 to 4)
connected to the LAN.
1. [ANT-X] -> 9: INTER SW PRIORITY
This setting allows giving a priority to multiple radar operations connected to the LAN.
The setting is made in "[ANT-X] -> 9: INTER SW PRIORITY". When it is set to ON,
you cannot perform operation from the OFF side of the unit viewing the pictures of the
same antenna. If the radar setting is the same, the priority is given to them and operation
is linked each other.
No.1 Radar:
Priority ON
2. Additional information for the Inter SW
The figure in the next page shows two pictures of the radar connected to the LAN and
processing of control signals. Radar pictures and control signals are running on the
LAN.
For instance, if you switch the setting to the No.2 radar (ANT) from the No.1 radar,
picure on the No.2 radar side is shown on the No.1 radar.
Video signal processing such as Echo Stretch, Echo Average and Echo Trail can be
controlled on a processor unit that in side of the received video signals.
Signal processing such as the ARPA acquisition and tracking is performed on its own,
and output this on the network. In the ARPA, you can set the vector mode/time, track
interval, and TCPA/CPA on the switched side.
See the next page for operations among these radars.
