3.5 Adjusting Sweep Timing
Sweep timing differs with respect to the length of the signal cable between the antenna unit and the display unit. Adjust sweep timing at installation to prevent the following symptoms:
•The echo of a "straight" target (for example, pier), on the 0.25 nm range, will appear on the display as being pulled inward or pushed outward. See Figure
•The range of target echoes will also be incorrectly shown.
(1) Correct | (2) Target pushed | (3) Target pushed |
