1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW1-441.36 Target TrailsThe trails of the radar echoes of targets can be displayed in the form of synthetic afterglow. Target trails are shown either relative or true and can be sea or ground stabilized. True motion trails require a compass signal, and position and speed data. When the range is changed, trails are continued for targets which were al-ready displayed in the previous range. Newly detected targets have no trail when first detected.1.36.1 True or relative trailsYou can display echo trails in true or relative motion. Relative trails show relative movements between targets and own ship. True motion trails present true target movements in accordance with their over-the-ground speeds and courses.Note 1: The [TRAIL MODE] box is shown in yellow under following conditions:• [TRAIL MODE] is set to [TRUE] and presentation mode is set to [HEAD UP RM].• [TRAIL MODE] is set to [TRUE] and presentation mode is set to [STERN UP].The reference for the past position displays for AIS and TT is also switched whenever trail reference is switched.Note 2: The [TRAIL MODE] box is shown in cyan under the following conditions:• [TRAIL MODE] is set to [TRUE] and presentation mode is set to [STAB HEAD UP RM].• [TRAIL MODE] is set to [TRUE] and presentation mode is set to [COURSE UP RM].• [TRAIL MODE] is set to [TRUE] and presentation mode is set to [NORTH UP RM].1.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW1-471.37 Target AnalyzerThe target analyzer function is designed to analyze echoes and assist the operator to determine dangerous targets. This function is particularly useful under heavy rain/snow or where there is surface reflection, which can cause interference and noise.The target analyzer function can also place hatching over heavy rain areas, reducing the visible interference and allowing a clearer view of potential targets.Echoes are displayed in five different colors to assist the operator in identifying targets. The colors and their respective echoes are shown in the table below.The following example figures show the manner in which this function affects displayed echoes.Echo ColorSurface reflection GreenRain GrayMoving target RedApproaching target PinkOther echoes YellowNo echo adjustment (Target analyzer off, EAV off, hatching off)Rain, moving targets and surface reflections are all displayed with no filtering.Minimal echo adjustment (Target analyzer on, EAV off, hatching off)Echoes are colored, surface reflections are filtered, rain is displayed.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW1-48Note 1: This function works best when the settings for [GAIN], [STC], [RAIN], [NOISE REJECT] and [VIDEO CONTRAST] are properly adjusted (Surface reflections are displayed in green and rain is displayed in gray).Note 2: This function recognizes moving targets as approaching targets. Buoys and other stationary objects are not recognized as approaching targets by this function.What is “hatching”?Where echo averaging may hide light rain on the display, the hatching feature, when activated, places a gray “veil” over the areas where rain is detected. This allows the operator to see where the rain is without affecting the quality of the displayed echoes.1.37.1 How to activate/deactivate the target analyzer1. Select the [CUSTOMIZE ECHO] box, then press the right button.2. Select [TARGET ANALYZER], then press the ADJUST knob.3.
