Slave Chart Plotter

Operating mode

To select the Slave mode follow the procedure:

[MENU] + "SETUP" + [ENTER] + "Input/Output" + [ENTER] + "C-LINK" +

[ENTER] + "Secondary Station" + [ENTER]

When Slave mode is set, the chart plotter cannot manipulate the C-Link naviga-

tion data anymore.

Stop current navigation

If the navigation was already active, it will be disabled as soon as Slave mode is

set. An appropriate warning message will be shown to notify that the Navigation

is already active and to confirm whether Slave mode can be set.

Inhibit Navigation operation

As soon as Slave mode is set, the destination cannot be placed anymore either

the C-Link navigation data is received from the Master or not. Also, when the C-

Link navigation data is received from the Master, it will not be allowed to deacti-

vate the Navigation.

Inhibit Route following

While navigating to the route received from the Master the destination is reached

(either applying distance or perpendicular criteria), the destination will not be

moved to the next Waypoint on the route.

MOB handling

If the Navigation to the external destination is active and the MOB key is pressed

on the Slave Chart Plotter, the MOB is placed but the navigation to the MOB is not

activated.

Notes

While navigating to the external destination the Operating Mode is switched to

Master mode, the navigation to the external destination will be terminated. An

appropriate warning message will be shown to notify that the Navigation to the

external destination is active and to confirm whether Slave mode can be set.

Setting Slave mode, the C-Link navigation data will be deleted.

The C-Link navigation data are deleted at Power Off.

C-Link navigation data: Acquisition and Display

As soon as the C-Link navigation data is received, the Slave parses the information

received and executes the relative actions depending on its current working status.

Note When the Navigation to the external Destination is activated, the Slave Chart

Plotter will show all relevant C-Link navigation data exactly like when the

destination is not the external one: (Destination Name, DST and BRG to

Destination, calculate XTE, calculate TTG etc). These values will be displayed all

places where required and they will be used to format NMEA-0183 output data.
