Introduction

This page deals with the User Interface options available to the operator.

Contents

User Interface

Open

Display Rotation (°): The rotation of the PPI map display. The default display points North, and is as such at 0.00°. The ability to control the rotation is available without the User Details being configured by using the short-cut keys Ctrl+Shift+ ← (to rotate PPI clockwise), Ctrl+Shift+ → (to rotate PPI anti-clockwise) and Ctrl+Shift+ ↓ (to reset the PPI to 0). Therefore, this field can be edited without the Edit button being selected.

Open

Use Animations: Window transition animations that create an aesthetic 'fade' When using the User Interface through Remote Access, it is recommended you turn Animations off, in case of lag. 

Show Clock: Select to include a digital clock in the top right of the page header.

Show Weather Information: Select to display the weather conditions and temperature in the title bar (next to the clock if that is enabled too).

Speed Unit: The unit of speed the tracks are measured in (m/s, mph, kph, Knots)

Label Visibility: Select an option to configure the visibility of the entity labels on the PPI.

Active Layers: The layers visible and available to that user. You can create layers by editing the Layers drop down list under the Config tab. However, default layers will be these:

Default Layer: The original layer on which the carriageway was drawn.

S/A Layer: The Situation Awareness layer, onto which any carriageway data must be copied if it is to be exported as a video file.

Ruler Colour: The colour of the ruler drawn by the Ctrl+Right Click ruler tool.

Show Scale Bar: Select this to have the scale bar visible on the PPI map.

Show Lat/Long: Select this to show the Latitude & Longitude on the PPI.

Use Track Prediction: Select this to predict a movement when the UI Update Interval is faster than the track rate from the radar(s). This can help smooth the UI update.
