14.4.0 AIS-SART Test Mode
The CP590 by default ignores test AIS-SART, AIS-MOB and AIS-EPIRB signals in order
to avoid a large number of alerts. However the CP590 can be enabled to receive test alerts
(see Par. 14.1 “AIS Setup Menu”) if you want to test them.
14.5 AIS LIST
The AIS List page shows basic information of the Target ship with the ability to select a
Target ship and locate it on the chart.
AIS Targets are sorted by distance from current GPS position: the closest Targets are
displayed at the top of the list. AIS-SART, AIS-MOB and AIS-EPIRB objects are also listed
on this page and are also sorted by distance.
NOTE
When the received Targets exceed the maximum limit allowed for the list, the closest Targets
(which could be potentially the most dangerous) will be kept in memory and the farthest (potentially
less dangerous) will be lost.
