English
azimuth change pulse Correct
CONTEXT: The azimuth of the radar for each return may be provided using a set of pulses called the ACP and ARP. The ACP (Azimuth Change Pulse) is a pulse train where the interval between pulses is a fixed angle. Commonly there are 2048, 4096 or 8192 pulses per 360 degrees. The ARP (Azimuth Reset Pulse) is a reset pulse that occurs at a reference point. The angle of the radar is therefore derived by counting the number of ACP pulses since the last ARP pulse.
ACP Correct
CONTEXT: The Range and Azimuth specifies the expected PARROT location. Range is in nautical miles, Azimuth is in ACPs (360 degrees = 4096.0 ACPs). Set Range to 0.0 to disable PARROT monitoring for a radar.

impulsion de changement d’azimut Correct Féminin
ACP Correct Féminin
CONTEXTE : Les paramètres Range et Azimuth précisent l’emplacement prévu du PARROT. La portée est donnée en milles marins, l’azimut en ACP (Impulsion de changement d’azimut) (360 degrés = 4096,0 ACP). Régler la portée sur 0.0 pour désactiver la surveillance PARROT d’un radar.
