7.7 Initiate Processing (PROC)
The PROC command controls the actual processing and output of radar
data. The operating modes and types of data available from the RVP900
are described in Chapter 2, Introduction and Specifications, on page 17. It
also describes the proper use and application of the RVP900 to different
radar environments.
PROC is a single-word command that specifies the type of processing to
be performed, and the type of output to be generated. The two mode bits in
the command word select either:
- Synchronous mode—The processor acquires, processes, and outputs
one ray in response to each PROC command. Processing is begun
only after each command is actually received.
- Free running mode—A single PROC command is issued, and rays
are continually output as fast as they can be produced and consumed.
This continues until any other command is written, for example, a
Ntg No Trigger during noise measurement.
Ttf Trigger too fast during noise measurement, that is, some of
the noise sample bins were positioned past the trigger
range.
Err Error detected during the SNOISE command.
