Field Summary
static ScanMode MODE_air
          air: air (aircraft?) scanning
static ScanMode MODE_calibration
          calibration: a calibration is being performed
static ScanMode MODE_coplane
          coplane: the radar is scanned in a single plane, so both azimuth and elevation can vary
static ScanMode MODE_horizontal
          horizontal: not scanning, horizontally pointing
static ScanMode MODE_idle
          idle: antenna position and scanning are undefined
static ScanMode MODE_manual
          manual: antenna position is being manually controlled
static ScanMode MODE_PPI
          PPI (Plan Position Indicator): fixed elevation and varying azimuth
static ScanMode MODE_RHI
          RHI (Range-Height Indicator): fixed azimuth and varying elevation
static ScanMode MODE_SUR
          SUR (surveillance)
static ScanMode MODE_target
          target: the antenna is pointed at a fixed location
static ScanMode MODE_vertical
          vertical: the antenna is pointing vertically
