Past Position Display
The ARPA displays equally time-spaced dots
marking the past positions of any targets being
tracked. A new dot is added during preset time
intervals until the preset number is reached. AIS
also displays past position dots.

Target Association (Fusion)
An AIS-equipped ship may be shown on the display by both AIS and
ARPA symbols. This happens because the AIS position is measured
by a GPS navigator in L/L while the ARPA target blip and data are
measured by range and bearing from own ship. When the symbols are
within an operator-set criteria, the ARPA symbol is merged into the AIS
symbol. The criteria is determined by the differences in range, bearing,
course, speed, etc.
Data Display
A variety of navigational information which
is vital for fishing vessels, including own
ship status, radar plotting data, wind,
water temperature and information from
other shipborne sensors can be displayed
in the data cells on the right hand side of
the screen. The FAR-2157 and 2167DS
radar have a unique zoom function which
enlarges a part of the radar image twice or
three times in size.

Selecting the shape of ARPA symbols
After tracking a target, you can select and change the ARPA symbol shape by
placing the cursor on the symbol and hitting the “TARGET DATA” key.
It is useful to change the ARPA symbol to distinguish vessels and identify groups
of related targets.
The ARPA symbols are selectable from 10 shapes.
