Context
A target track permits the ST90 to automatically control the tilt and bearing based on the movements of the chosen target. It locks on the target defined by its position, heading and speed. The tracked target is regarded as an object, and it is identified with a circle and two lines. The two lines reflect the size of the current tracking area.
The bearing and tilt settings are automatically adjusted to follow the movements of the tracked target. The bearing line is automatically locked on the object to reflects its bearing.
NoteIf you change the tilt or bearing settings manually the priority status is lost. The ST90 will still attempt to track the target, but the tilt and bearing settings are not adjusted.
A new tracked object is automatically given priority status. The priority is identified with a "P". Only one single object can be given priority status. If you start tracking a new target the first target will loose its priority. The same applies if you give priority to another marker. The tracking of the first target will however not stop, and the target marker is still shown.
TipRelevant information about the tracked object can be found in the bottom left corner of the view. If you think the text is small and hard to read, double-click on the text field. This will increase the text size.
Further requirements
Under certain circumstances the target tracking may not follow the intended echo. This may for example happen if the tracking area is too large. You can initiate manual tracking by placing multiple markers on your target echo as it moves in the view. This location of the markers in the view will then show you the historic path of the target.
