What does the Wagon Wheel indicate?

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 you are still receiving the Wagon Wheel then this may indicate something is not working properly.

There are three different Wagon Wheel types and each indicates a specific detection fault.

Type: Spokes Only

Indication: Good Video, Bad Azimuth and No Triggers

Wagon Wheel Spokes Only

Type: Inner Ring Wagon Wheel

Indication: Bad Azimuth Data

Type: Outer Ring Wagon Wheel
