OBS

Automatic decoding carries out the process of active decoding on all targets continually, storing in digital form all the mode and code data, together with positional data. Using modern fast p.p.i. display techniques this data can be converted into alpha-numeric form and other symbols for direct display upon the p.p.i. screen, the position of the data being associated with the position symbol of the relevant target. By this means a fully integrated primary and secondary radar system can be produced.
