Setting the Range Limits
By default, when calculating the range of an object, the system takes into account all
reflected signals that it receives. However, it is possible to mask out reflections from the
shortest and/or longest ranges, for example to ignore an overhanging feature of the vessel’s
own structure.
To set the Range Limits for a sensor:
1. Go into Table View and open the Profile for the relevant sensor, or else enter Single
Sensor View and expand the Profile.
2. Click and drag one or both of the green Range Limit sliders:
3. Leave the left-hand slider at the range below which you want all reflections to be
ignored.
4. Leave the right-hand slider at the range above which you want all reflections to be
ignored.
Alternatively, double-click either of the sliders and type a numerical value into the entry box:
