Response Length
The length of the response, as seen by the radar that the transponder is responding to, can be selected from the
drop down list. The units of measure for this can be changed between km and nautical miles (nmi) using an
option under Setup. (Note that after changing the units of measure, the response length will be set to Auto.)
If the Auto option is selected, then the Response Length is based on the length of the pulse received from the
interrogating radar. In this case, where a radar is using short pulses for close-in navigation, a short response will
be generated. If the radar is using a long-range pulse, then a longer response will be generated. This feature
allows the transponder’s response to be optimally fitted to the radar’s display.
Measurement Units
The GUI can be configured to display distances in either metric or imperial units by selecting the
required option from the menu item at the top of the screen
