How do you initiate Strip SAR or Spot SAR modes?

Explanation:
Initiating Strip SAR or Spot SAR is done through the map-centered control flow, which lets you place the radar’s imaging target and set its parameters in one guided step. With radar coverage visible on the Map Display, perform a right-click to bring up the Imaging menu, choose Strip SAR at location, and then use the left trackball to select the swath. This approach ties the SAR mode to a specific geographic area and the desired swath width, ensuring the system images the intended spot with the correct sampling area. Other options don’t fit because a quick Strip SAR button may initiate the mode but doesn’t define where to image or the swath, the chat window isn’t a radar-control interface, and cycling through modes with a dial doesn’t set the location or swath necessary for Strip or Spot SAR.
