Planning
The
Planning
panel is used for assessing directional wave energy spectra and impacts on vessel
motion. The wave data is fed to a Course/Speed Recommendation Module (CSRM) which shows
expected vessel motions for varying course/speed. The
Planning
panel shows 6 separate panels
by default as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9: The
Planning
panel
Each panel can be independently moved within the tab, maximized to fill the entire tab, or
minimized. When a panel is minimized, the other panels will automatically adjust to fill the
newly available space.
The 6 panels of the
Planning
panel are:
Data readout
Two-dimensional power spectrum (2DPS)
Situational Awareness
Course & Speed Recommendation based on Heave
Course & Speed Recommendation based on Roll
Course & Speed Recommendation based on Pitch
