NOTE: We've guessed that you're not using a client that supports colored tables and have tried to compensate. Low graphics mode looks much better on clients that do... we recommend switching to Netscape 3.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Plan Position Indicator (PPI)
scanning mode

Plan Position Indicator (PPI):
When scanning in PPI mode, the radar holds its elevation angle constant but varies its azimuth angle. The returns can then be mapped on a horizontal plane. If the radar rotates through 360 degrees, the scan is called a "surveillance scan". If the radar rotates through less than 360 degrees, the scan is called a "sector scan".
