2.6.3 Radar Overlay
Radar overlay has input for one set of radar signals. Radar Overlay can be used to read picture from three different radar transceivers, because it has two status inputs which change following characteristics of the Radar Overlay:
· video gain operating area (low and high voltage) · FTC adjust operating area (low and high voltage) · STC adjust operating area (low and high voltage) · STC curve length and shape
· number of azimuth pulses per 360º · radar antenna headline detector offset · radar trigger range offset
· offset of the radar antenna from the conning position
Following characteristics of the Radar Overlay are common for all radar transceivers: · video polarity (positive or negative) and impedance (hi-Z or 75W)
· trigger active edge (positive or negative) and impedance (hi-Z or 75W) · headline polarity (positive or negative)
· HI and LO video detection level difference
If you want to utilise multiple radar transceivers, then you must build outside the ECDIS an inter switch for radars, which reports to the status inputs of Radar Overlay the radar transceiver currently in use.
2.6.4 Parameters
NOTE! Special attention of following topics is required to maintain "Common Reference
System"
· The values of Center and Conning positions are depending on size and geometry of the ship. See an example in Chapter "General" on page 91.
· Offsets from Antenna Position to Conning Position of Position Sensors are depending on the location of Position Sensor antennas. See an example in Chapter "Position Equipment" on page 100.

2.6.4.6 ARPA Radars
In the Display field you can select ARPA radar displays one by one and define if it is in use etc. Rest of edit boxes are for all the radars in order to define Reference target tracking general parameters.
Identification and sends id -fields are used
to select indirectly radar antenna offsets from Conning position which is defined as
Conning position in General parameters
page. In the example above ARPA radar
display 1 send identifier 1, if it is connected
to Radar1 defined in Radar overlay
parameter page, and ARPA radar display 1 send identifier 2, if it is connected to Radar2 defined in Radar overlay parameter page. There are 3 basic device interface
alternatives:
1) Device interface IMO IEC 61162-1 uses TTM message for ARPA radar target data receive interface and OSD message for ARPA radar speed and course
receive. It sends standard ECGLL, ECDPT and ECMVW messages to the ARPA radar.
2) Device interface FURUNO: IEC 61162-1 includes all standard messages for an ARPA radar target data receive interface. Besides it contain also a lot proprietary messages supporting integrated
navigation features such as user charts, routes, curved ebl, etc.
3) Device interfaces of type Selesmar
Status nn bytes are all related with
different models of Selesmar ARPA radars which are using proprietary binary messages.
Below is an example with Selesmar ARPA radar:
2.6.4.7 Position Equipment
Below is an example of DGPS receiver with talker identifier GP defined for both GGA and VTG messages
Below is an example of GPS receiver with ignored talker identifiers for both GLL and VTG messages
Below is an example of Syledis receiver
NOTES:
· talker identifier can be separately defined for speed and course (VTG-message) and for position (GLL, GGA or PAT message). If talker identifier is defined as XX, then it is ignored. · IEC 61162-1 GGA uses messages VTG and GGA. Recommended for DGPS. Correct
operation of a DGPS sensor requires that the system receives also VTG message. If no VTG message is received then the system thinks that there is something wrong in the DGPS and the system downgrades the DGPS as a ordinary GPS-sensor
· IEC 61162-1 PAT uses messages VTG, PAT and SHR,POS. Alternative for a DGPS which gives also pitch and roll data.
· IEC 61162-1 GLL uses messages VTG and GLL. Recommended for non differential position receivers.
· Use of differential signal with GPS can be detected with GGA and SHR,POS. A device using identification GLL and device type 8 (= DGPS) will always be detected as differential regardless of receiver status.
· Cmg delay is delay between own ship turning and course made good in the VTG-message to detect turning. Typically values are from 0 to 15 seconds.
· Because no message has any datum indication, the user is responsible for used reference system in position receiver. GGA message is supposed to be always in WGS-84, but unfortunately some manufacturer does not follow standards.
· Only one of connected sensors is allowed to send ZDA message, which will be used to adjust the system clock, if time difference is larger than 5 seconds and if the system is not a part of steering (ie. mode is not Goto Wp, Goto Track or Program Track Turn) and if the system has Kalman filter in OFF position.
· Offset from antenna position to Conning position is essential for speed, course, drift and predictor related calculation.
Radar Antenna Position
Conning Position GPS Antenna Position
From Antenna Position to Conning position = 10 m
Dual Axis Log Position
From Antenna Position to Conning position = -5 m
From Antenna Position to Conning position = 10 m From Antenna Position to
Conning position = 5 m
Note for service engineer:
If the vessel has main and backup system, then you must yourself set proper antenna offset for both systems. Keep in mind that they are two independent and separate systems, but they should share common antenna offset in case that they are connected to the same position antenna.
2.6.4.8 Radar Overlay
Here is an example of mast mounted S-band radar, when mast is in about same position as the conning position
Here is an example of bow mounted radar with large distance from the conning position
Here is an example of mast mounted X-band radar, when mast is in about same position as the conning position
Radar Overlay has status inputs which are used to select between 3 different setup for parameters. This arrangement allow installation of three different radar transceivers and antennas. Fox example a normal set of one S and one X-band radar in the mast and then a third radar in bow. See examples above.
Each radar can have an antenna with different amount of pulses per revolution. Also
operational area of FTC (Rain clutter), STC (Sea clutter) and gain is separately defined for each radar. Offset defined here are also used indirectly by the ARPA radar display. See separate chapter.
