FASTER SPEED TRACKING THEORY
The following examples are Faster targets under various conditions. The Faster mode has to be toggled "ON" by pressing
the FASTEST key. The key does not have to be held or depressed. In addition to the speeds displayed in each window,
carefully note the icons illuminated.
the FASTEST key. The key does not have to be held or depressed. In addition to the speeds displayed in each window,
carefully note the icons illuminated.
The addition of the Faster mode allows S
PATROL
to track a smaller high-speed target that was previously
undetectable because a stronger target shielded the weaker (smaller) target from normal speed measurement. The classic
example is where a speeding sports car passes a slower moving eighteen wheeler. The Faster sports car, although clearly
speeding, could not be measured because the strongest truck target captured the target display window. S

with Faster capability, however, will display the speed of the strongest target (the truck) in the target window, while the

speed of the Faster target (the sports car) will appear in the middle Faster window.
S
PATROL
simultaneously tracks both targets: however, the target window is always reserved for the strongest
target and the Faster window is reserved for the Faster target. When the Faster target becomes the strongest target, the
Faster target’s speed will transfer to the strongest target window. The Faster target’s speed can be locked only when it
becomes the strongest target. The result is better tracking for better court testimony! See the examples on the next page:

A Patrol vehicle is cruising at 55 mph. Two opposite lane targets are
approaching from the front - a 60 mph truck and a 72 mph sports car
behind the truck. The 60 mph strongest out-front target (the truck)
appears in the target window and the 72 mph Faster target (the sports
car) appears in the middle window (Fig 27). The Faster target cannot
be locked unless it becomes the strongest target and appears in the left
window.

The 60 mph strongest target can be locked, by pressing the LOCK

window to a Lock window. The FAST icon has been replaced by the
LOCK icon. The middle window is therefore defined by the icon that
