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.
