Setting Target Parameters in Target Configurations

Set target parameters in Target Configurations through the RTG panel.
  1. Select the Mode dropdown on the top right of the main Target panel.
  2. Select Target Configurations.
  3. Set trigger settings using the TRIGGER MODE and TIME OFFSET fields.
  4. Click Disabled/Enabled to enable targets. The software supports between one and four targets per instrument, depending on selected personality.
  5. Enter the target parameters.
    You can configure the following settings for each target based upon the mode of operation:
    • Time-Frequency—The Time-Frequency mode uses an absolute frequency shift to simulate a target.
      • Time Delay—Amount of time that the pulse is delayed inside the system.
      • Attenuation Offset—The change in power level (gains not supported) of the pulse inside the system.
      • Frequency Offset—Absolute frequency shift to simulate a moving target.
    • Range-Velocity—The Range-Velocity mode requires information about the current radar pulse's center frequency to calculate the correct shift.
      • Range—The distance an incoming pulse should be delayed inside the system. This distance is converted into a time-based offset to be applied within the system.
      • Attenuation Offset—The change in power level (gains not supported) of the pulse inside the system.
      • Velocity Offset—Relative frequency shift to simulate a moving target.
    • Phase Offset—Applies only to the target directly above it in the UI. To apply Phase Offset settings, click Reset NCO Phase.
    • Swerling Model—Applies only to the target directly above it in the UI. Select the Swerling model for each target from the dropdown.
  6. Select Send Target Configuration.
  7. If Software Trigger is selected, click Send Software Trigger to send an immediate trigger.
