2.4.14 AIS INFO (option)
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is designed for automatic and
autonomous data communication between ships. The communication data
consist of information such as identification, position, speed, course over ground
(detailed information see AIS Manual).
AIS targets can be displayed on the Radar Video, detailed information on AIS
Targets can be shown on request and alarms for LOST and DANGEROUS AIS
Targets will be generated automatically.
The Radar AIS INFO allows to change the following settings:
TARGETS:
SHOW enables the AIS symbols on the Radar Video
HIDE disables the AIS symbols on the Radar Video
SLEEPING the target symbols indicates the presence and
orientation of the vessels equipped with AIS in a
certain location. No additional information is
present until activated thus avoiding information
overload.
NORMAL the target symbols indicate the presence and
orientation of the vessels equipped with AIS in a
certain location. All additional information are
present in the AIS information. The AIS symbols
display the total information (see chapter
2.4.14.2)
RN G ... a range at which the AIS Targets shall be displayed
can be set from 10 to 55 nm.
LOST ... a range can be defined, above which no LOST
Target Alarms will be generated. All Targets which
go lost outside this range will disappear
immediately without an indication.
NOTE
Setting AIS LOSTRN = 0 nm will present multiple AIS Alarms and make
important standard Radar alarms more visible.
