Attention
The EPA is used for a radar without the ATA function.
It stores and displays the target course and speed in the form of vector.
Up to 10 ships (plot No. 0 to 9) can be specified.
It also calculates the CPA and TCPA and outputs an alarm.
The plotting memory is cleared when the power is turned off.
The previous plot is not displayed.

speed calculated from the two plotting positions. In this status, the CPA
and TCPA at the moving position of the plot are calculated and an alarm
is output when the plot enters the alarm range.
