# bit 1 = set current heading for contact on contact spotted
# bit 2 = stop sweep on contact spotted
# bit 3 = stop sweep and follow target on contact spotted
# bit 4 = pause script on contact spotted
# bit 5 = abort script on contact spotted

you have to do bitwise addition (you can use the calculator in Windows to do this - set it to Binary mode and enter the bit pattern wanted (1 for enabled and 0 for disabled) and then click on decimal to get your number to put into parameter 5)

i.e.: we want bit 0, bit 1, and bit 4. This would be 10011 in binary. This would equal 1 + 2 + 16 = 19. Parameter 5 would be 19.
Sweep_scope,0,0,360,90.0,19,0,5

So depending on how you set the options you can have the scope sweeping and reporting every new contact every time it spots one by locking it and unlocking it.

This sounds awesome!!!

I had an idea and was wondering if it was possible to do for the lazy skipper ( IE, me)to add pause game on sound contact spotted. Say on a patrol I wanted to go and make some lunch or have a shower I could come back and see game is paused and then set up my solution.
