2.5.5 Association Settings
The target association combines the information of targets which are close
together to one single target. Target association is performed between ARPA
and AIS targets as well as ARPA targets tracked at different workstations.
Targets are associated, if the position, speed, and course of the targets are
within the pre-defined association limits.
The Radar supports several association profiles for navigation under different
conditions (see SYNAPSIS SYSTEM MANUAL (Document No. 4279 chapter
4.1)).
By switching on the Radar function TGT ASSOC ON, both AIS and Target
information of acquired targets are associated if the association criteria are
fulfilled.
The ASSOCIATION SETTINGS menu is organized by factory predefined
profiles.
2.5.5.1 Target Type Hierarchy
The priority selection TARGET TYPE HIERARCHY allows the operator to
decide which source is used to calculate collision avoidance data. If AIS is
selected and a combined target contains AIS data, the combined target is
displayed with position, speed, and course from AIS. If Radar X Band is
selected and the combined target contains data from an X-Band ARPA tracker,
position, speed, and course from this ARPA tracker is used.
Depending on the priority (MODIFY button) selected, the target info display
switches over accordingly; AIS or Target.
After pressing the AIS soft button AIS targets (sleeping/activated) appear on the
PPI if there are AIS targets in the area.
The area in which the AIS information is displayed depends on the used AIS
FILTer RNG.
Sleeping targets are displayed smaller than the activated targets. Sleeping
targets can be switched over to activated targets per cursor function or per
ACTIVATION RANGE.
