for
å
transmitted
echo
travel
to
tho
target and
return
to
the
source,
and
the
received echo is displayed on tho C ElT based on this time.
Thus,
at the
tnsiant the iransinllter is lired, the "Sweop" should start from the center of
the CRT (sometimes called sweop origin.)
A
"trigger'' pulse
gonorated in the
Diaplay Unit
is
sent
to
the
Soaruier Unit
through
the interconnection
cable
to
trigger
the

(magnetron.)
The

Unit
varies,
depending
largely
on

the
Display Unit should
wait before starting the sweep.
