1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
1-115
1.59 Wave Mode
You can output echo data from this radar to a PC with the wave analysis software in-
stalled. The wave analysis software calculates incoming waves and gives you an on-
screen indication as to wave size, direction and time between waves.
This section covers how to use the wave mode and related functions on your FAR-
2xx8 series radar. For details regarding the analysis software and PC indications, see
the manual supplied with the software.
Preparations and cautions for wave mode
• Wave mode requires the connection of a PC to the same network as the FAR-2xx8
series radar to be used for data input.
• The connected PC must have the wave analysis software installed. See the soft-
ware manual for how to install the software.
• Wave mode may only be active on one radar at any time. If a second radar has
wave mode activated, wave mode is disabled on the first radar.
• One ore radars must set [8 OUTPUT TO WAVE PC] to [ON]. If all radars set [8 OUT-
PUT TO WAVE PC] to [OFF], the “LOST WAVE UNIT” indication may appear.
• Wave analysis and the output data are intended for reference purposes only, as an
aid to safe navigation. Always confirm conditions, visually and with other methods.
