The two plotting functions below are available with this radar equipment.
An optional device is necessary for using each of the ATA, and AIS functions.

The ATA function enables automatic acquisition of targets by using the guard zone function.
The ATA function is available when the ATA option is installed.

out from the AIS unit.
