Overall control information
|
||||
|
||||
These are knobs on the panel once that is built. Keyboard keys until then
|
||||
|
||||
1. Intensity - scope overall intensity - Keyboard 3 is lower; 4 is higher
|
||||
2. Receiver Sensitivity - signal intensity - Keyboard 5 is lower; 6 is higher
|
||||
3. STC Sensitivity - sensitivity for closer in targets which can overwhelm
|
||||
overall sensitivity - keyboard q for lower; w for higher
|
||||
4. STC Range - range to which sensitivity to closer targets is effective
|
||||
keyboard e for lower; r for higher
|
||||
5. Radiogoniometer knob for Chain Home; keyboard t for left turn; y for right turn.
|
||||
6. Maximum Range for all scopes except for chain home, which is fixed. This control
|
||||
will not operate for Chain Home. These maximum
|
||||
range selections will be defined for each scope; If you try to go beyond the stated
|
||||
maximum ranges, the control will have no effect; note that the default maximum range would
|
||||
be the highest for that scope; keyboard u for lower; i for higher
|
||||
7. Range Cursor (for ppi scopes, not for a scopes) keyboard o for lower; p for higher
|
||||
8. Bearing Cursor (for all ppi scopes; not for a scopes)
|
||||
keyboard a for counterclockwise s for clockwise
|
||||
9. Bearing for Marine A Scope. This is not for a cursor, but this operates the motor
|
||||
that revolves the antenna unit keyboard d for counterclockwise and f for clockwise
|
||||
|
||||
Notes; I am maintaining control separation between radiogon, marine a scope bearing, and ppi bearing.
|
||||
However, when I make the control panel, those will be combined as one physical knob with three
|
||||
labels, chain home radiogon, marine a scope antenna rotation, and ppi scope bearing to save on
|
||||
hardware; the same physical control can be used for multiple scopes.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the range cursor is different from the maximum range. Maximum range is the maximum
|
||||
radar range setting and range cursor is the range portion of the ppi cursor.

Individual scope informations
|
||||
|

1. Introduction to project. Just text. No scopes. Only one control for entering
|
||||
scope selection loop. Keyboard keys 1 for forward; 2 for backward.
|
||||
|
||||
2. A Scope - sweep on horizontal axis. A pulse will appear for a return. The distance from
|
||||
the left hand side to the pulse is the range. The height of the pulse is the strength
|
||||
of the return signal. The bearing is determined by manual control.
|
||||
|
||||
The basic controls for both A Scopes include:
|
||||
Intensity (the overall brightness of the entire display).

||||
Intensity
|
||||
|
||||
Sensitivity (the strength of the signal amplification of the
|
||||
receiver). This has nothing to do with the brightness of the
|
||||
pulses. This only affects the height of the pulse and the height
|
||||
of any noise floor.
