ALTITUDE COMPENSATED TILT (ACT) (P-880 MODEL ONLY)
In ACT, the antenna tilt is automatically adjusted with regard to the
selected range and airplane altitude. ACT adjusts the tilt to show a few
ground targets at the edge of the display. The TILT knob can be used
for fixed offset corrections of up to 2°.
NOTE: Proper tilt management demands that tilt be changed
continuously, even in airplanes equipped with ACT.
SLAVE (SLV) (DUAL CONTROL PANEL ONLY)
For airplanes equipped with dual weather radar control panels, one
controller can be slaved to the other by selecting OFF on that
controller only. This condition is annunciated by the illumination of SLV
on the control panel. The slave mode allows one controller to set the
radar modes for both sides. In the slave mode, the PFDs and MFDs
radar information are identical and simultaneously updated.
NOTE: In the slaved condition, both control panels must be set to off
before the radar system turns off.
