1.7 Common Functions for Products and Applications
The table below gives an overview about the common NACOS Platinum functions which are used in the
RADAR and ECDIS applications and which can form a RADARPILOT, a CHARTRADAR, an ECDISPILOT,
or a MULTIPILOT. The main differences between these products are as follows:
- RADARPILOT: Basic radar functions incl. ARPA and AIS targets, no chart functions
- CHARTRADAR: As above, plus chart functions with black background colour table*
- ECDISPILOT: Chart functions in full colour, AIS targets on top
- MULTIPILOT: CHARTRADAR plus ECDIS with ARPA and AIS targets
