RB-15F manual programming

[Leviathan667]

Hi, 

 

I've been trying to make sense of the tables in the RC2 manual, at pages 336-7. I am sharing the outcome with you:

 

TARGET SELECTION
See RC2 manual p. 334 and 336
				Invariable/std	Position 3	Position 4	Position 5	Position 6
Digit position after 81	Adress 81 (std 810111)	0	1	81	0	1	1	1
3	Single target (STD)	Y	N	81	0	1	1	1
4	Multiple target N	Y	N	81	0	0	1	1
5	Multiple target A	Y	N	81	0	1	0	1
6	Group target	Y	N	81	0	1	1	0
Digit position after 82	Adress 82 (std 820000)	0	1	No function
CRUISE ALTITUDE
				Invariable/std	Position 3	Position 4	Position 5	Position 6
Digit position after 83	Adress 83 (std 830000)	0	1	83	0	0	0	0
3	Altitude after Bx6 = sea skimming	Y	N	83	0	0	0	0
3	Altitude after Bx6 = 30m ASL	N	Y	83	1	0	0	0
4	Area search	Y	N	83	0	0	0	0
4	Bearing search	N	Y	83	0	1	0	0
	Sea skimming + area search = 830000
	30m ASL + bearing search = 831100
	Sea skimming + bearing search = 830100
	30m ASL + area search = 8310000
HOMING (SEARCH MODE, BOUNDARY LINES AND APPROACH ALTITUDE
See RC2 manual p. 333 and 336
				Invariable/std	Position 3	Position 4	Position 5	Position 6
Digit position after 84	Adress 84 (std 841110)	0	1	84	1	1	1	0
3	Precise search area	Y	N	84	0	1	1	0
4	Small search area	Y	N	84	1	0	1	0
5	Medium search area	Y	N	84	1	1	0	0
6	Large search area	Y	N	84	1	1	1	0
				Invariable/std	Position 3	Position 4	Position 5	Position 6
Digit position after 85	Adress 85 (std 851100)	0	1	85	1	1	0	0
3	Boundary line left	Y	N	85	0	1	0	0
4	Boundary line right	Y	N	85	1	0	0	0
5-6	Distance (01 to 15 km - 2 digits)	Y	N	85	1	1	Digit 1	Digit 2
	Boundary line right at 12 km = 851012
	Boundary line left at 02 km = 850102
				Invariable/std	Position 3	Position 4	Position 5	Position 6
Digit position after 86	Adress 86 (std 861000)	0	1	86	1	0	0	0
3	Target approach = 10m ASL	Y	N	86	0	0	0	0
3	Target approach = sea skimming	N	Y	86	1	0	0	0
WIND
If not added here, the wind direction and strength is sourced from the aircraft (either programmed wind or Doppler readings)
Digit position after 87	Adress 87
3-5	Wind direction in target area (000 to 360 - 3 digits)			87	Digit 1	Digit 2	Digit 3	0
Digit position after 88	Adress 88
3-4	Wind strength (00 to 99 kph - 2 digits)			88	Digit 1	Digit 2	0	0

Looks like it could be useful info, but I can't make sense of the table format. Could you explain how to read it?  What are columns 3-4 for with the Y/N?  Why is the digit of interest shown by row and by column?  What do the colors mean? 

[Leviathan667]

Those are the digits ordered by rank, from 1 to 6, you have to input using the data panel in mode TAKT IN.

 

E.g. TAKT, IN, 831100 then LS/SKU, OUT, back to AKT/POS

 

The three columns small tables with grey heading are a reproduction of the content of the manual. The rest has been added to try to make sense of these.

It's been a while since I last unwraped my brain about this stuff. Thanks for the refresher.

There is one point that comes to mind, hope some HB staff is reading this:

 

To change the target approach was not working for me the last time I was testing it some 1,5 years ago.

I had some red ship sitting behind a quay wall and ironicaly I was able to hit that with a RB-04 but not with a RB-15.

The RB-15s final approach is way lower than the RB-04, you can really see that it wants to hit the target on the waterline.

So I tried to change the cruise (83) and final target approach (86) to a higher level (831... and 860...).

I can't remeber if the 83 (cruise) was working, but target approach defently rammed that RB-15 into the quay wall.

 

Can someone confirm that issue after putting in 860 / 860000?

I checked it a few days ago, unfortunately changing target approach it does not work.

[Flappie]

I agree. This 2020 report is still true.

[Leviathan667]

My guess is they will fix it with the release version of the module, like the SPA issues
