Functions and features
This chapter provides more detailed information about some of the func-
tions and features of the Ranger HRC MS system.
5.1 Operating modes
The Ranger HRC MS system operates in six different operating modes;
NORMAL, AUTOSCAN, PARK, LRF, MENU and PROG POSITION mode.
Each mode is a combination of settings and functions designed to assist
the operator in performing a particular task.
The functions of the joystick and the keypad buttons on the Joystick Con-
trol Unit (JCU) depend on the operating mode of the system, see chapter
6.
5.1.1 NORMAL mode
NORMAL mode is the default mode.
In NORMAL mode, the JCU is used to pan and tilt the system, to move
the system to the preset eld-of-views, to zoom in and out, to focus, etc.
5.1.2 AUTOSCAN mode
In AUTOSCAN mode, the system is automatically moved from point to
point in a preset autoscan list.
While the system is in AUTOSCAN mode, it tracks the preset position
during changes in azimuth, elevation, eld-of-view, focus and zoom set-
tings. The autoscan points are programmed when the system is in PROG
POSITION mode. It is possible to dene up to 32 autoscan points, in up to
ve autoscan lists. For instructions on programming of autoscan points
and management of autoscan lists, see section 11.4.
AUTOSCAN mode can be entered from NORMAL and PARK mode, by
pressing the SCN button on the JCU. AUTOSCAN mode can also be
entered from the menu system, with the Start autoscan feature. If auto-
scanning is started by pressing the SCN button, the system will resume
