A.2 Auto Plotter ARP-15

The Auto Plotter ARP-15 is an optional circuit board which is accommodated in the display unit of the radar.

The Auto Plotter can acquire radar targets manu- ally and tracks them. An internal microprocessor calculates target data such as speeds and courses, and this information is displayed in alphanumer- ics and by vectors.

A.3 Video Plotter RP-15

The Video Plotter RP-15 is optional circuit board which is accommodated in the display unit of the radar.

With the RP-15 you can enter navigation lines or reference lines with as many segments and ver- texes as required (maximum 25 lines and 30 ver- texes per line).

An optional memory card enables you to display a digital chart on the radar screen, either along or superimposed on the radar picture.
