General
General ECDIS900
ECDIS900 is designed to
display vessel information
received from on board sensors such as GPS,
Gyro, Log, radar and AIS together with geographical information retrieved from Electronic
Charts. ECDIS900 is a core navigation tool that satisfies the marine standards ECDIS (Electronic
Chart Display Information System) and RCDS (Raster Chart Display System). ECDIS900 is
designed to run under Microsoft Windows Operating Systems (XP or Windows7).
ECDIS900 is designed to secure navigation at sea by combining the vessel information from
several sensors, information from Electronic Charts in the area and the use of powerful
navigation functions.
The system has the ability to display and use both official and unofficial
raster andvector charts
.
Official charts types supported are:
•Electronic Navigation Charts (ENC, provided by Primar; AVCS, provided by UKHO; C-MAP
ENC DB in the SENC format), which are official Vector Charts
•ARCS - Raster Charts from British Admiralty
ENC data does not contain any information concerning symbolizing. The presentation of
charts on the screen and it is implemented via the presentation library (PRESLIB) published in
the Publication No. 52 (S52).
ECDIS900 is Wheelmark Type approved but is used as ECS system when non official charts are
displayed. Data settings and ECDIS mode are
protected
by passwords.
Each ECDIS900 system includes:
•
MARIS User Interface
•
The main window
displaying the chart, sensor information, and SW tools.
•Sensors Interface and Integration (Sensor Monitor application).
•
Chart manager
•

When the computer is started, ECDIS900 and the application Sensor Monitor are launched
automatically. To start manually ECDIS900, double-click on the icon called ECDIS900 or select
the start up menu ECDIS900.
