Pilot Event Marker

(1) A pilot event marker is created by operating the switch on the GAIN control for two

cycles (pull out, push in, pull out, push in). A full set of parameters at that instant is

stored in the fault log. This can be useful if the pilot senses that there may be

something abnormal with the radar operation, but no fault code is being shown. This

data must be read using the RS–232 port.
