Video Adjustment
The video adjustment is carried out through the Tune/video adjustment menu in the installation
setup menu.
The following describes the outline of the adjustment.
"%Main Bang suppression Level (MBS L) is set to 0.
#%EEPOT, U14 is set to minimum. (EEPOT initialization with "L" level of U14 #7)
$%EEPOT gets into step-up mode (U14 #2 is H.) to measure output video level at each step.
The step is changed by pulses applied to U14 #1. The step where the output level is 2.2 V is
memorized.
&%EEPOT gets into step-down mode (U14 #2 is L) to find and stores the step number where the
output level is 2.2 V.
'%Averaging the step numbers found in steps 3 and 4 above, and saving onto depot. The stored
value is not erased when power is turned off.
(%MBS L is reset to the value previously used.

Heading
Heading data in AD format or NMEA format HEADING DATA (HDT, HDG, HDM, VHW) can
be input from J104(HDG). The radar determineswhether AD format heading data is normal ornot
by checking CLK (J104 #14, #15) data. If CLK data is normal but the DATA line is abnormal, the
heading is continuously shown as 000.0.
When the CLK line is abnormal the heading is continuously shown as ***.*. (Note that the same
indication appears when noise in the CLK line causes deflection of heading data which is higher
than 360.0°.)
The radar can read AD format data at intervals of up to about 100 ms. When the radar is connected
with the equipment whose input interval is 1 sec, heading data is update too slowly, which results
in delayed rotation of the picture when the ship turns.
Automatic switching of NAV data (NMEA 0183)
NAV data from NAV data ports, J104 (#3, #4) and J104 (#5, #6), are alternately selected by the
CPU in the following manner.
Two inputs: Data from J104 (#3, #4) and J104 (#5, #6) are automatically switched every five
seconds.
One input J104 (#3, #4): For three minutes after the power is turned on the data from J104 (#3, #4)
and J104 (#5, #6) is automatically switched every five seconds to determine which port is
inputting NAV data. When J104 (#3, #4) alone is inputting NAV data, data is automatically
switched at J104 (#3, #4) after 25 seconds and after 5 seconds at J104 (#5, #6).
