Automatic Acquisition

This radar can acquire a maximum of 100 targets, the number of automatically and manually acquired targets
determined by the TT TGT menu setting.

AUTO25 25 targets automatically, 75 targets manually
AUTO50 50 targets automatically, 50 targets manually
AUTO75 75 targets automatically, 25 targets manually
AUTO100 100 targets automatically
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
by bold symbol.)
