3.2 - Setting the service date and checking vital signs


Introduction

The CTS350-X radar sensor has a built in web interface (known as Vertex) which provides default user level access to the radar. This means you can view information but no changes can be made. There is a useful summary of key radar setup and diagnostic information – e.g. IP address, serial number, system uptime and radar health (temperature and rotation).

This page provides links to the main Vertex documentation.

Using the Log Viewer

The radar stores a record of activities in order to assist diagnostics. Due to memory restrictions, newer entries will overwrite the oldest and so the log does not retain all historical information.

Shipping Halt

In the unlikely event that there is an issue that cannot be resolved by following these instructions, you may need to ship the radar back to Navtech for analysis. For this you should perform a Shipping Halt which will safely store any required data to the radar's SD card, and halt the radar from working.

Please refer to the Shipping Halt documentation: .
