1.28 Target Trails
The trails of the radar echoes of targets may be displayed in the form of
synthetic afterglow. Target trails are chosen either relative or true and may be
sea or ground stabilized. True motion trails require a compass signal and own
ship speed input.
1.28.1 True or relative trails
You may display echo trails in true or relative motion (only true trail on TM).
Relative trails show relative movements between targets and own ship. True
motion trails require a gyrocompass signal and own ship speed input to cancel
out own ship's movement and present true target movements in accordance with
their over-the-ground speeds and courses.
(a) True target trails
(No smearing of
stationary targets)
(b) Relative target trails

Note: When true trail is selected on the RM mode, the TRAIL MODE box is
