Configuring Areas

Introduction

Once an area is enabled it will appear on the Edit Areas page. This page shows a captured image of the radar data and allows the operator to move and edit areas to cover the most relevant parts of the radar coverage. Most significant features surrounding the radar should be identifiable, however, if deploying in a very sterile environment then you may need to deploy radar targets / reflectors so you can orientate the visible data to your site.

The radar data is captured when the Edit Areas page is first accessed. If the scene around the radar changes and you want to see the latest data ensure you select Refresh.
