Using SPx RadarView Lite
The SPx RadarView application consists of two files which must be located in the same folder (any folder) on your laptop:
...
- Run SPXRadarView.exe. You should see a blank main screen:
Note: In the lower panel, the Video and Turn indicators will be red indicating that there is no communication with the sensor
- Click the Channel-A menu on the toolbar, and select the Source... option.
...
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other target so that you can view both on screen at the same time.
- Adjust the radar sensor level (See Section 2.7) while checking the scan graphs to ensure the best response from both targets.
- To assist with orientation, optionally click the
button to show the Graphics Control dialog box:
...
- Enable the Compass Ring option to superimpose compass graduation marks around the sensor view.
Note: North is aligned to the zero point of the radar sensor, not magnetic north.
- Enable the Range Rings option to overlay range lines every 100m onto the sensor view
