5.17 ARPA Performance Test

Test program is provided for assessing the ARPA overall performance. Note that normal
operation is interrupted and the label “XX” is displayed at the bottom of the screen during
this test. The test may be terminated at any moment.

To execute the performance test:

1. Select the north-up presentation mode on the 12 nm range.

2. Enter own ship speed of 0 knots.

3. Press the [PLOT MENU] key followed by the [0] key to show the ARPA 2 menu.

4. Press the [9] key to select ARPA TRACK TEST.

5. Press the [ENTER] key.

An alert XX flickers during the test. It takes approximately three minutes for all vectors
to be displayed. The test does not need echo signals, gyro nor speed log input. Seven
targets having different speeds and courses, as shown in the table below, are simu-
lated automatically.

6. The test continues for five minutes and then repeats.

To terminate the track test, press the [STBY/TX] key. The STBY display appears.

Select any target with the cursor and check that the selected target shows the course and
speed as in the table. CPA and TCPA shown below are initial values which change with
time.
