Above you can see the illustration of WEB browser window with jRadar viewer applet running which provides you with more details. Radar window screen is the main part of display. In upper part (above the radar window) is always visible toolbar. At the left of the display is located map selector panel with additional buttons for position control and radar window display scale. Right side of the radar window there is a panel for radar window appearance settings, track filtering table, and radar lost targets window.
For correct display of all key controls and monitoring components it is recommended to use at least 1280x768 pixels display resolution.
If the browser window will be resized to smaller, some less important information will be hidden. At the left of the radar window, number of lines at Map selector section is getting smaller if the vertical resolution is reduced. At the right of the radar window, number of lines in the lost tracks table will be reduced, if the window will be resized smaller. Another possible place for saving in right panel is number of lines in track filtering table. It is possible to do that using applet starting parameters. If horizontal size of the browser window will be resized to smaller, the radar window size is getting smaller too, and the upper toolbar will reduce the unused space.
It is also possible to hide both sides panels, thanks to this the radar window screen area will increase.
In the radar window, radar maps are displayed on the background and radar targets are displayed on top of it. As mentioned above, radar window size can be enlarged closing sides panels Map selection panel and Track selection panel. The radar window will then appear as displayed in the picture below. Format of radars data display is similar to other Air Situation Display systems. Radar track position is marked by a small square object, previous positions are marked by history dots, actual speed is indicated by speed vector lines and track information is displayed in accompanying track leader and label. Control of the display is described in later chapters.
Actual cursor location in map is displayed by geographical coordinates of longitude and latitude in left of status bar line, which is located below the radar window.
