5.4.8    Non-Hysteresis 
 
Set a non-hysteresis level at which targets that were once identified as one target by the association assessment 
function are identified as separate targets. 
Set the condition for separating an association symbol into a tracked target symbol and an AIS target symbol.

8    Non-Hysteresis 
 
Set a level of non-hysteresis at which an associated target is separated into individual 
targets between 0% and 300%.    The standard percentage is 100%. 
 
In the case of 100%, The level of non-hysteresis is equal to n/m. 
  n: The time of judgment which an associated target is separated into individual targets 
  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. 
It becomes harder to separate a tracked target symbol from an AIS target symbol.   
Targets that are not separated to start with are less likely to be separated, and also, 
separated individual symbols are less likely to be displayed properly after separation. 
 
A smaller value means a looser condition. 
It becomes easier to separate a tracked target symbol from an AIS target symbol. 
Targets that are not separated to start with are more likely to be separated, and also, 
separated individual symbols are more likely to be displayed soon after separation. 
 
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.
