Nobeltec InSight Radar (IR2)
Operations Manual
Turning on your Radar
Once the hardware portion of your digital radar is properly installed, viewing a radar
image is as simple as powering the antenna, and opening an InSight Radar window
within the Nobeltec software.
With the radar powered on, click on the Radar Transmit/Standby button to
begin or stop radar transmission.
Depending on the antenna, the power-up process takes between 90 and 120
seconds. Once powered, Nobeltec automatically displays incoming radar data. If the
radar is in standby mode, use the Radar Transmit/Standy toolbar button to begin
transmitting.
Once the InSight window is open and active, a range of tuning and control options
and other features are available. InSight Radar features are listed on the following
pages.
Radar right click and Radar menu
The InSight window can be managed as any other window. It can be minimized,
maximized and can even share the screen with another chart window. The InSight
Radar window can also be closed while the radar is still in operation. If you are
overlaying the radar image on an electronic chart, the dedicated radar window is
not required to be visible.
Similar to other Windows applications, common features can often be found by
clicking on the right mouse button or the Radar menu. The following pages describe
the radar features found in these menus in greater detail.
