*SET SHIP DIMENSIONS
There are two methods for setting Ship Dimensions: configuration
parameter “Ship Size Mode” in the view “Config-> Interfaces ->
Miscellaneous” can be set to Standard Mode or Simplified Mode
(default). This choice is only available in Class A system mode!
If external ECDIS will be used for full AIS configuration, Standard Mode is
recommended unless the ECDIS integration has been verified with A2.
Standard Mode (not available in Inland mode)
In this mode data is entered exactly as is will be reported on VHF link.
Input:
•
A, B, C, D
for internal antenna [m]
•
A, B, C, D
for external antenna [m]
Simplified Mode (default)
In Simplified mode the transponder will automatically calculate and
correctly round the A,B,C and D values reported on the VHF link from
Length, Beam, C and B.
Input:
•
Ship length x.x
[m] (one decimal precision)
•
Ship beam x.x
[m] (one decimal precision)
•
C, B
for internal antenna relative to ship x.x [m] (one
decimal precision)
•
C, B
for external antenna relative to ship x.x [m] (one
decimal precision)
Inland Mode Convoy Setting (Inland only):
Set Length, Beam, C and B parameters as above.
Specify any extra convoy size in
Main MenuVoyageConvoy Settings
.
Extra convoy size on each side (value = 0 if convoy not used):
•
Bow x.x
[m] (one decimal precision)
•
Stern x.x
[m] (one decimal precision)
•
Port side x.x
[m] (one decimal precision)
•
Starboard x.x
[m] (one decimal precision)
A,B,C and D values reported on the VHF link will be calculated from
Length, Beam, C,B and any extra convoy sizes.
This mode will make it easier for Inland AIS users to quickly change all
relevant dimensions when changing convoy configuration, but may cause
problems for external ECDIS integrations.
