6.7.1 Using the ATA

The ATA (Automatic Tracking Aid) unit is an optional PC Board that can be installed
into the processor unit. Using this function, up to ten targets can be manually acquired
and tracked automatically. All tracked target data is the same type as the EPA data,
and is shown on the right of the screen.
All operating procedures are also the same as that of the EPA function with one
exception i.e. no second plotting is needed in the ATA system.
Note: If the ATA system gets malfunctioned, the plotting system will switch to EPA
mode automatically.

To use the ATA function the MRE-300 ATA module must be installed. (Refer to
APPENDIX 1 in Chapter 4 for installation instruction) To run the ATA function, the
bearing signal and the speed signal must be supplied to the Processor unit.
