5.4.7    Hysteresis 
 
Set a hysteresis level at which a tracked target and an AIS target are identified as one target by the association 
assessment function. 
Set  the  condition  for  using  an  association  symbol  when  a  tracked  target  symbol  and  an  AIS  target  symbol 
overlap each other.

7  Hysteresis 
 
Set a level of hysteresis at which targets are identified as one target between 0% and 300%.   
The standard percentage is 100%. 
 
In the case of 100%, The level of hysteresis is equal to n/m. 
  n: The time of judgment which targets are identified as one target 
  m: The time of judgment 
Therefore  50% means that the level of hysteresis is equal to n/(2*m). 
  200% means that the level of hysteresis is equal to (2*n)/m. 
 
A larger value means a stricter condition. 
The possibility of mistakenly identify resembling targets will be lower, but targets are less 
likely to be identified as one target. 
 
A smaller value means a looser condition. 
Targets are likely to be identified as one target, but targets with similar parameters are 
likely to be mistakenly identified. 
 
Adjust the setting in accordance with the intention. 
 
When  a  small  value  is  set  as  a  hysteresis 
condition, a tracked target near an AIS target is 
identified  as  the  AIS  target  and  may  thus 
disappear from the display. 
For example, when a pilot vessel equipped with 
the  AIS  function  (a  small  target  which  is  not  a 
tracked target) goes near a cargo vessel which 
is a tracked target without the AIS function, the 
tracked target symbol for the cargo vessel may 
disappear.
