9.1 Scan Schedule.
[Back to contents]
This program is used to configure the built in scan pattern settings, the scan schedule and the repetition timing of all
scans.
After double clicking the Scan schedule icon, the above screen is displayed. The buttons on the left are used to
enable or disable the various scan types. If no scans are selected, the system will default to the staring mode. The
previously used settings are displayed when this module is starts up.
The Rays/pnt number represents the number of complete rays that are averaged at each point (line of sight).
The No. Points figure is used to select the number of individual lines of sights making up the VAD scan.
The Repeat number represents the number of minutes between each start of successive scan executions. The
minimum repeat number available will be roughly equal to the total duration time for all scans + 2 minutes. The
minimum repeat time is calculated each time a scan is selected or deselected, and it is not possible to select a repeat
time below the minimum. If a scan is deselected, its effect on the minimum repeat time is removed.
The Duration gives a rough guide to the time take to execute each scan, with a total for all selected scans at the
bottom of the column. The software will use 2.5 seconds per ray to calculate all duration figures. This allows for the
time taken to move the scanner from point to point to be taken into account.
The next column is used for inputting fixed angles of elevation or azimuth for the scan types.
