changes only to [File transfer].
FAR3000SSD_kisyou_No_32_P0N_yyyymmdd.conf (yyyymmdd means Year/Month/Date)
2) To confirm that an echo appears when started [TRX] from [Radar operation].
3) Click [STBY] from [Radar operation] to stop TRX.
4) To follow the same process of “1)” to change a file.
FAR3000SSD_kisyou_No_29_Q0N_yyyymmdd.conf (yyyymmdd means Year/Month/Date)
5) To confirm that an echo appears when started [TRX] from [Radar operation].
6) Click [STBY] from [Radar operation] to stop TRX.
7) To follow the same process of “1)” to change a file.
FAR3000SSD_kisyou_No_36_P0N+Q0N_PPI_yyyymmdd.conf
(yyyymmdd means Year/Month/Date).
8) Click [TRX] from [Radar operation] to confirm that an indication would shift an echo when a
scanning line rotates in every round.
9) Click [STBY] from [Radar operation] to stop TRX.
10) To select the best file at last by the local situation. Or to change the necessary setting like as
elevation to finish it.
Notice: To keep the setting according to the local situation at last. Make sure to turn ON/OFF the
power of radome and /or PC, and TRX/STBY the radar operation.
