Demo Replay Mode
The Demo Replay Mode allows the user to open a file and play it back in real time. The file being played back will emulate BATS input in that each point will be plotted using the current draw rate. The draw rate can set by using either Target Settings or Ship Settings menu command. A quality control check will be done before each new point is plotted. If the position in the saved file is not within one foot of the raw data position displayed by the software prior to filtering, a warning will be displayed in the IPS Message window. To use the demo replay feature follow the steps listed below.
Note: Files used in the for demo replay mode must end in the extension .raw. For example a file named demo.raw could probably be used for demo replay, while a file named demo.txt could not be used for demo replay.
