Opens a form in order for the program to calculate the Height Above Average Terrain (HAAT) of a selected unit. The antenna height above ground has to bespecified for the unit.
Centre
Select the unit to be centre of the calculation.
Antenna height above ground (m)
Antenna height above ground in meters for this calculation.
Settings for HAAT calculation
Azimuth step
The step in degrees at which radials have to be used.
Start at distance (Km)
The distance at the radial calculated from the centre unit at which the first height must be determinated.
Number of points per radial
Number of heights taken at the radial. It sets the maximum ditance at which ground heigth wil be measured. This is Start distance + ( number of points x distance)
Distance step (Km)
It produces a result as displayed below:

Explanation
For unit 'PI2APD' HAAT is calculated. In this example the following settings are used for explanation:
As a result of this at 16 radials at a distance of 2 and 4 km (start is 2 Km, and step is 2 Km) ground height is determinated from DEM. Using 'Draw rings' the points that are calculated are displayed in the following image.
After calculation the following file is opened:
