Main Screen and Bird's Eye
View (BEV)
The circular BEV depicts the operational area
of the Artemis system from above. The red dot
at the centre represents the local Antenna Unit
mounted on its vessel and the arc through which
it can rotate corresponds to the combined blue
areas. A grey exclusion zone can be configured
(using the End Limit parameters) if there is a
physical obstruction that prevents the antenna
from turning through 360°.
The current direction and movement of the radar
beam is indicated by the slim, light blue triangle.
If the local station is locked onto a remote
station, this is represented by a yellow dot. If
the remote station is configured as “Floating”
rather than “Fixed”, the outline of its vessel is also
shown (with its bow aligned to 0° azimuth).
Vessel Outlines
Where a vessel outline is shown, its direction
is significant, but its size, exact shape and the
position of the Artemis station within it are all
arbitrary and cannot be altered.
Scan Limits
If the local station is not locked onto a remote
station, and Auto Search is enabled, the beam
moves to and fro across the configured scan
sector. The size of this sector (the dark blue area)
can be adjusted (see Adjusting the Scan Sector
on page 21).
Radial Markers
These form an angular scale in degrees,
clockwise around the circumference of the BEV.
Zero is defined by the bow of the local vessel.
