The RS-232 serial interface port for AIS can be found on the Rear Panel of the PCRP. Newer PCRPs contain a motherboard with two serial interface ports (stacked vertically). Earlier PCRPs have a [...]
50 KB per second per PC-RP is a conservative estimate derived from actual LAR Recordings. Therefore, a 250 GB HDD that is recording a single PC-RP 24/7 will reach its capacity after 57 Days.
Shim occurs when the camera’s mounting platform is not level. On fixed installations the mount is usually level; Shim occurs more frequently on movable platforms such as trailers. Shim is shown [...]
The SSRENG-7404 Four Port NMEA Serial Interface Card allows the PC-RP to communicate with up to four NMEA Devices. Both RS-232 and RS-422 communication is supported. These interfaces can be used [...]
COMRIC uses both UDP and TCP; in the ‘Net Cfg’ Script COMRIC can be configured to use UDP for all message traffic. The definitions are as follows: Control and Status Message: Point-to-Point [...]
It is a good idea to periodically monitor the performance of the radar system so that one can order and replace parts before they fail. As with automobiles, certain radar components age over time [...]
The Wagon Wheel indicates that the Radar Processor is not detecting Triggers or Azimuth Signals. If the radar is not operating then this is an expected state. If the radar should be operating and [...]
This is a difficult question to answer because it is based on the operator’s qualification of the current and previous radar image. It is recommended that snapshots of the RDOP Application are [...]
If you have a chart available on RDOP, the radar can be coarsely aligned by using the coastline features of the chart. SSR recommends using AIS Targets to fine-tune the radar alignment. The [...]
In most situations, Manual Clutter is adequate and recommended for radar operation. In dynamic heavy cluttered environments where the operator is unable to maintain a good picture by adjusting [...]
