GUARD ZONES Automatic Acquisition Zone

Two automatic acquisition zones may be set in a sector or any form. They also
act as suppression zones, avoiding unnecessary overloading to the processor
and clutter by disabling automatic acquisition and tracking outside them. Targets
in a automatic acquisition zone appear as inverse triangle. The operator can
manually acquire important targets without restriction.
CPA Alarm Zone
Target tracking symbol changes to a triangle when its predicted course (vector)
violates the operator set CPA/TCPA. The operator can readily change the vector
lengths to evaluate target movement trend.
Guard Zones and Anchor Watch Zone
Guard Zones generate visual and audible alarms when targets enter the operator
Guard Zones set zones. One of Guard Zones may be used as an anchor watch to alert
the operator when own ship or targets drift away from the set zone.

TARGET TRAILS
The target trails feature generates monotone or gradual shading afterglow
on all objects on the display. The shading afterglow paints the display just like
on an analog PPI. The monotone trails are useful to show own ship movement
and other ship tracks in a specific fishing operation. The trail time is adjustable
for 15, 30 s, 1, 3, 6, 15, 30 min or continuous. The target trails are indicated
in a different color from background. The unique feature in this radar is
a choice of True or Relative mode in Relative Motion (only True in TM).
