How many permanent markers should be aligned during checks?

The alignment of permanent markers during checks is crucial for ensuring accurate measurements and consistent orientation in radar systems. Aligning one permanent marker per quadrant is generally considered sufficient because it provides a reference point that can help in spatial orientation and verifying the integrity of the radar's coverage. By having a single marker in each quadrant, the system can effectively delineate areas of interest without the complexity that comes with managing multiple markers in one quadrant. This practice helps to simplify calibration and maintenance tasks, promoting both efficiency and clarity in data interpretation.

In scenarios where additional markers may be used, it can lead to confusion or redundancy, as having too many reference points within a single quadrant increases the complexity of the alignment process. Furthermore, one marker per quadrant strikes a balance between enough references to ensure accuracy while avoiding an overwhelming number that could disrupt workflow or lead to misinterpretation of the data being collected.
