Welcome
Welcome to the RadaScan View Operator’s Guide. It explains how to use the RadaScan
View system once it has been fully installed. For instructions on how to install the system
onto a vessel, please see the RadaScan View Installer’s Guide (Doc No 94-0492-4).
The System Overview on page 7 describes the different components of the system and
how they work together.
The Getting Started section on page 8 explains how to get the system up and running and
how to shut it down again. It also details what you will see on the Dashboard screen when
the system is running, and how to interpret the information.
The Tracking Basics section on page 20 covers the basic elements of successful tracking
with a RadaScan View system.
The Single and Multi-Target Tracking section on page 26 gives a thorough explanation
of the concepts involved in single or multi-target tracking. It is important that you clearly
understand all the material included in this section before attempting to use the RadaScan
View system for multi-target tracking.
Further useful information is included in the Support Information section on page 41, and
in the Appendices on page 45.

Many of the operational

illustrations in this user

System Overview
The RadaScan View system is the latest generation of Guidance Marine’s radar-based RadaScan View Dashboard Software
position reference products. Delivering accurate positional data to marine vessel DP
The RadaScan View Dashboard software runs on a marine-specification PC, usually
(dynamic positioning) control systems for automated approach and station keeping, it has
mounted on the bridge near to the controls of the vessel’s DP system. It gives the DP
the additional capability to display a radar image representing the surroundings of the vessel.

The RadaScan View System consists of three main parts: system.

• RadaScan View Sensor

• RadaScan View Dashboard Software RadaScan Responder

• RadaScan Responder (Target) One or more RadaScan responders are mounted on the target platform or vessel. Each
responder returns a modulated radar reflection that carries its unique ID number back to
the RadaScan View Sensor.
RadaScan View Sensor
The precise range and bearing of each responder is measured by the sensor. This is used
The RadaScan View Sensor is a rotating radar scanner mounted on the DP-equipped to calculate the exact position of the RadaScan View vessel relative to the target structure

Start Up and Shut Down

Start Up
To Start the RadaScan View Dashboard
1. Ensure that the RadaScan View sensor is powered on.
2. Double-click on the Dashboard icon.
(Or run the Dashboard application from
Start > All Programs > Guidance Marine Ltd >
RadaScan > RadaScan Dashboard).
3. The Dashboard screen will appear. If the sensor was
already scanning, any targets in view will be displayed
straight away.

Shut Down Dashboard screen with sensor scanning Dashboard screen with sensor suspended
To Suspend, Exit or Disconnect
Click on the Guidance button in the lower left corner of the screen. The set of buttons
revealed will depend on whether the Dashboard is In Command or in Monitoring mode.
Each button is explained below.

• Suspend—Places the sensor into a ‘sleep mode’ and the rotor ceases spinning. The
Dashboard remains active and connected to the sensor ready for operations. This
mode is suitable for use when travelling between locations.

• Suspend and Exit—Places the sensor into the same ‘sleep mode’ as the suspend
command (discussed above) and also closes the Dashboard program.

• Disconnect—Ceases communications between the Dashboard computer and the

sensor but leaves the Dashboard open. See Multi - Dashboard

• Exit—Closes down a Monitoring Dashboard without affecting the sensor. RadaScan View Systems

Screen Layout
The Dashboard screen is split into
three distinct sections, these are:

• Main Screen and Bird’s Eye

View (BEV) (see page 11)

• Side Bar (see page 13)

• Menu Pane (see page 15)

Screen Layout (Continued)

Main Screen and Bird's

Eye View (BEV)
The centre of the circular BEV represents
the RadaScan View sensor and it shows the
relative positions of the vessel and any detected
RadaScan targets or radar-reflective surfaces.

Vessel Outline
The length and breadth of the vessel and the
offsets and orientation of the RadaScan View
sensor within it can be configured on the Vessel
tab of the RadaScan Service Interface (see
Installer’s Guide) so that the vessel outline is
correctly scaled and positioned on the BEV.

Target Reflections
Reflections received by the sensor from
RadaScan responders are displayed as yellow
circles. For tracking you must select the
reflection(s) that correspond to the physical
target(s) to be used.

Radar Image
The red-coloured areas on the BEV show the
layout of objects in the vicinity of the vessel. See
Radar Image on page 18 for details of how to
adjust the image for best effect.

Blanking Zone
The Blanking Zone is a sector within each
revolution of the sensor, from which any
received signals are ignored. It is typically set
to correspond to the area in which the beam
would strike portions of the vessel structure.
The blanking zone can be configured using the
Blanking tab of the RadaScan Service Interface
(see Installer’s Guide).

l 11
Screen Layout (Continued)
Range Circles
The Range Circles act as a visual guide to show the distance between the vessel and the
detected reflections. Distances are shown in metres from the RadaScan View sensor. Use
the Zoom Control to change the scale of the display. (See page 12).

Radial Markers
These form an angular scale in degrees, clockwise around the circumference of the BEV.
Zero is defined by the bow of the vessel, or by a line between the primary and secondary
targets, or by a manual alignment of vessel heading, depending upon the selected tracking
mode, DP format and display coordinates.

Bearing and Heading Tags

These are displayed on the Radial Marker when the system is in tracking mode, to indicate
the bearing of the primary (or only) target and the vessel’s heading. The visibility of these
two elements depends on the DP format selected and which coordinate system is being
used to display the positional information (see Positional Display Modes on page 28).

Data Logging Indicator

This symbol is displayed when data is being logged to disk. During a tracking operation the
symbol is steady and when manual logging is in progress it flashes.

Zoom Control
Click on the left-hand side of the control (marked ‘-’) to zoom out of the BEV display and
on the right-hand side (‘+’) to zoom in.

Status Display
This consists of two fields:
Primary
The primary part of the status display is in the upper-right corner of the Main Pane. It
indicates the current status of the system (e.g. running or suspended).

Secondary
The secondary status display is located in the lower right corner of the Main Pane (beneath
the zoom function) and is normally hidden. It displays a flashing message for a number of
seconds in order to confirm an action taken by the user, e.g. starting manual data logging.
It can also display a persistent, static message if there is a communications problem.

Vessel Name
The name of the vessel configured on the Vessel tab of the RadaScan Service Interface
(see Installer’s Guide).

Menu Pane
The Menu Pane, located across the bottom of the
Dashboard Screen, is not always visible. It appears
when the Tracking or Advanced buttons near the
foot of the Side Bar are pressed. This causes the
Main Screen to contract towards the top of the
screen. Clicking the same button for a second time
causes the Menu Pane to disappear and the Main
Screen to be restored to full size.
The Menu Pane is used to display a wide variety of
information and controls, often accessed by further
tabs and buttons that become available once the
Menu Pane is in place.

l 15
Screen Layout (Continued)

Coordinates View
Whilst tracking is in progress, the positional coordinates and the Bird’s Eye View can be
transposed, so that the coordinates are displayed in extra-large numerals on the main
screen, whilst a miniature BEV is shown at the top of the side bar. If tracking ends, the
layout automatically reverts to Bird’s Eye View, but as long as Coordinates View remains
selected, the main screen will again display coordinates once the next tracking operation
commences.

To Select Coordinates View

This can be done in a number of ways:

• 1.2. Navigate to Advanced > Display Options > Screen Layout.

Click on the Coordinates radio button.

• Click on the numerical data near the top-left corner of the screen.

The reflection is not represented on the BEV at this stage.

If the candidate tracks appear repeatedly over a period in excess of 10 seconds, it may
be necessary to move the vessel closer to the responder.
In some cases the responder may need to be re-orientated towards the sensor to give
a better signal.

A confirmed responder is listed as a Reflection on the Reflections pane:

l 21
Working with Reflections (Continued)
Reflections Pane
The Reflections pane is obtained by clicking on the Tracking button and then on the Reflections tab. It displays the following controls and information:
Range & Bearing Data:
Reflection Selector - Click on this to select the reflection for tracking (see To Start Tracking on page 27).
Type - Unconfirmed responders are listed as ‘Search’, confirmed responders as ‘Reflection’ and rejected responders as ‘Reject’. (see Detecting
Responders on page 21).
Colour – Series 2 and Series 3 responders are colour-coded (Red, Yellow, Green or Blue). Responders of different colours use different modulation
frequencies which makes it easier for the RadaScan View system to distinguish between them. If you use more than one responder at once, then for
best results make sure that they are of different colours.
ID - The unique identification number of the responder.
Range - The distance to the responder in metres.
Bearing - The bearing of the responder in degrees, clockwise from the bow of the vessel.
Visibility - The brightness of the responder in the radar frequency spectrum, as viewed from the sensor.
Sensor Information:
Rev# - The number of revolutions made by the scanner since it was last switched on or resumed from suspension.
Temperature - The temperature of the processor board inside the sensor. Typically, this will be 15° higher than outside the sensor.
Hide Rejections
Clicking on this button causes any rejected responders to be removed from the list and from the BEV. The button changes to Show Rejections.

l 22
Working with Reflections (Continued)
Extended Information Pane
The Extended Information pane is obtained by clicking on the Tracking button and then on
the Extended Information tab. In addition to the data on the Reflections pane, it contains
the following fields:
RCS – Radar Cross Section: a measure of how detectable the responder is by the sensor
(similar to Visibility but more formal).
SNR – Signal to Noise Ratio: the strength of the signal being returned by the responder.
The higher the number, the stronger is the signal; 20-36 dB is optimal.
Rejection – One or more characters representing the reason(s) why a responder is being
rejected (for diagnostic purposes and subject to redefinition).
ID Hits – The number of times that the sensor extracts the ID number of the responder in
a single revolution; another measure of the robustness of the returned signal, where 255 is
the maximum hit count.
Cycles - How long the system has been tracking the responder, expressed in number of
revolutions of the scanner.

l 23
Tracking Information Quality
The RadaScan View Sensor rotates anti-clockwise. On each rotation, the sensor emits a radar beam and calculates the position of responder(s) from which it has received a sufficiently
strong return signal.
Before tracking has been selected, the Data Quality and Coordinates area in the upper left corner of the screen is grey. After tracking has started, the coordinates are displayed in green
and the quality bar is largely filled.

If the position and/or heading reported to the DP system is no longer valid, e.g. because another vessel has obscured the responder(s), this is indicated by a change of colour and a
reduction in the filled portion of the quality bar.
Red: Position is invalid
Amber: Position is valid but heading is invalid

l 24
DP Feed
The DP Feed is the data that the RadaScan View sensor sends to the vessel’s Dynamic See document 92-0492-4 RadaScan View Installer’s Guide for a description of the

that the RadaScan View and DP systems both use matching formats.
Configuration of the DP output channel is done using the RadaScan Service Interface (refer
to the RadaScan View Installer’s Guide). The Dashboard contains a read-only menu pane
that displays the state of the DP output channel, which DP format is configured and data
emitted relating to the primary (or only) target.

Single and Multi-Target Tracking
This section describes the two types of target tracking and how to set them up. It is for
general guidance only and does not provide an exhaustive explanation of target tracking
using the RadaScan View system, nor does it form the basis of a contract. Implementation
of the material covered in this section will vary according to the type of DP system used
in conjunction with the RadaScan View system. The use of, or reliance on, anything in
this section is therefore entirely at the user’s own risk and should only be undertaken after
assessment of its accuracy, completeness and suitability for the proposed use.
This section contains the following pages:

• Introduction to Single and Multi-Target Tracking (Page 27)

• Positional Display Modes (Page 28)

• Selecting Targets for Multi-Target Groups (page 30)

• Rotational Offsets (Page 33)

l 26
Introduction to Single and Multi-Target Tracking
The RadaScan View system can track either a single target or multiple targets: For Multi-Target Mode

easy to use, but has the following limitations: 2. Click on the Apply button to confirm and begin tracking.
• Tracking stability is affected if the target reflection is temporarily lost,
as there is no redundancy.

• Relative vessel heading cannot be reported.

Multi-Target Tracking
In Multi-Target Mode, two targets are tracked. This has the following advantages
compared to single-target tracking:

• Improved tracking stability.

• Redundancy allows tracking to continue even if a target is temporarily lost.

• Raw and NMEA Primary

The vessel’s heading in relation to the Multi-Target Group can be reported (NMEA
DP formats only).

To Start Tracking
For Single-Target Mode
1. Click on the required target reflection on the Bird’s Eye View. It changes to the selected To Stop Tracking
state (with the red dash around the outside and number “1” superimposed). Alternatively,
click on the reflection selector on the Reflections or Extended Information menu panes. Whilst tracking is in progress, a Stop button is embedded in the Tracking button on the
Side Bar.
2. Click on the Apply button to confirm and begin tracking.
1. Click on the Stop button.

l 28
Positional Display Modes (Continued)
Bow and Starboard Axes
This mode is available for single-target tracking, and for multi-target tracking
where the DP feed messages are sent in NMEA Primary format.
In this mode, the position of the sensor vessel is expressed in metres from the
target along Bow and Stbd (Starboard) axes which have their origin at the primary
(or only) target. The Bow and Stbd coordinate axes are always parallel with the
vessel's own axes.
For multi-target tracking, the vessel’s relative heading is based upon a third axis
passing through the primary target. By default, the heading axis is drawn
between targets 1 and 2 but can be realigned if required (see Aligning Multi-
Target Heading with the Ship’s Compass or another Reference on page 37).
The radial markers around the outside of the BEV are zeroed in the same direction
as the heading axis. The purple heading tag is aligned with the vessel bow, at the
point on the scale that shows the angle of the bow clockwise from the heading
axis

Bow and Starboard Axes

A and B Axes (A Pos and B Pos)

This mode is only available for multi-target tracking where the DP feed messages
are sent in NMEA Raw format.
In this mode, the position of the sensor vessel is expressed in metres from the
target along A and B axes which have their origin at the primary target.
The axes are initially aligned with the multi-target group, with the A axis passing
through the secondary target. The vessel's relative heading is measured clockwise
from the A axis. If required, the axes can be manually realigned to correspond with
the DP system or another sensor's coordinate axes (see Aligning Multi-Target

Vessel Heading
Vessel Heading is measured clockwise from the origin of the A axis to the RadaScan View
vessel’s centre-line. The vessel’s relative heading value depends on the orientation of the
coordinate axes. Changing the orientation of the A axis also changes the vessel’s relative
heading. B
In the examples below, the vessel’s heading relative to the targets remains constant.
However, the system measures different heading values according to the different
orientation of the A and B coordinate axes.
(The reported ‘A Pos’ and ‘B Pos’ values will also change, as the coordinate axes from
which they are measured have moved.)

Aligning Multi-Target Heading with the Ship’s
Compass or another Reference
If you require the RadaScan system to produce a heading based on geographic North or
another reference rather than on the orientation of the primary and secondary targets, follow
the instructions below.
When you manually align the multi-target heading, the position coordinates and the
orientation of the A and B or Heading axes are recalculated so that they correspond with the
new vessel heading.
The heading and position coordinate data sent to the DP system will change instantly when
you confirm the new alignment.
Drag the compass needle to the required heading.
You must deselect the RadaScan View sensor at the DP Console BEFORE commencing this
operation.
To Align a Multi-Target Group to a Given Heading:
Whilst multi-target tracking:
1. Navigate to Advanced > Align Heading.
2. Either
Move the red compass needle to the required position by clicking and dragging it or
by repeatedly clicking the small +/- buttons.
Or
Key the required heading value into the numerical entry box and click Preview (if
the Positional Display Mode is A and B or Bow and Starboard, this will cause the
radial markers around the outside of the BEV to be rotated in accordance with the
new heading value).
3. Press Apply (on the Apply-Cancel pop-up) to confirm.

Using the On-Screen Keyboard
In order to accommodate systems without keyboards, the Dashboard provides an On-
Screen Keyboard (OSK) option. This enables text to be input using only a mouse, trackball
pointer or touch screen.

To enable the on-screen keyboard

If, during installation, you indicated that the Dashboard would be used with a touch screen,
the OSK will already be enabled.
Otherwise, click F11 or the Enable On Screen Keyboard button in the Dashboard
Hotkeys menu.

To use the on-screen keyboard Click on the necessary keys on the on-screen keyboard using your mouse/trackball or by
tapping the touch screen.
Simply click on any text entry field and the OSK will pop-up ready for use:
When you have finished using the OSK, proceed to the next relevant action (e.g. clicking
on the Apply button), or else click on a different part of the screen, and the OSK will
disappear.

l 46
Working with Alarms
During operation, the RadaScan View system produces an audit trail of event messages,
which are classified into four severity levels. These are, in increasing order of severity:
Filtering Alarms
Information, Warning, Error and Fatal. As these alarms are raised, the Dashboard lists them A filter is available to suppress the display of particular alarm types. By default, the filter is
within the Alarms pane. activated and causes information messages to be hidden.
Click on any alarm to display details about it in the right-hand section of the Alarms pane:
Click on the Alarm Filter button to toggle between activated and de-activated .
Click on the Filter Selection button to choose which types of alarm are to be filtered out:

The severity and current state of an alarm are reflected in its colour and shape:

• Information—grey symbols

• Warning—orange symbols

• Error—red symbols A tick means that alarms of the corresponding severity are always viewable in the alarms

• Fatal—red symbols
list. No tick means that alarms of that severity are hidden when the filter is activated.

The arrowhead symbol indicates that an alarm condition is persisting; an alarm in this state
will show a Start time but not a Stop time.
The square symbol means that the alarm condition no longer exists, therefore the alarm will
show both Start and Stop times.
The pause symbol indicates an instantaneous alarm. In this case, the Start and Stop times
are identical.
When an Error or Fatal alarm is raised, the Advanced button on the side bar is shaded
red as in the illustration above. If no menu is open already, the Alarms pane is opened
automatically. Once the Advanced button has been clicked, it returns to its normal
appearance.

When a Fatal alarm occurs, communications with the sensor are disabled.
In order to return to normal operation, ensure that the fault condition has been
cleared and click on the Connect button in the side bar. If communications are not
re-established, power the sensor off, wait for 20 seconds then power back on.

l 47
Working with Alarms (Continued)

Using the Current and Historic Alarms Tabs

There are two tabs on the Alarms pane, each containing a list of alarms:

• The Current Alarms tab displays new alarms (raised since the Dashboard was last
opened).

• The Historic Alarms tab displays alarms that have been cleared from the Current
Alarms tab.
Current alarms are automatically transferred when the Dashboard is closed or when the
maximum number of Current Alarms has been reached.
Items on the Current Alarms tab cannot be deleted, they may only be moved to the
Historic Alarms tab. Only items on the Historic Alarms tab can be permanently deleted.

To accept alarms on the Current Alarms Tab

1. Click on Advanced > Alarms and ensure that the Current Alarms tab is in focus.
2. Select the alarms that you wish to move into the Historic list:

To accept one alarm—Click on the alarm and click on the button.
