Appendix A
– Color Differentiation Test
The color generating capability of any type of display screen will deteriorate with age. The Color
Differentiation Test diagram is provided to enable the mariner to verify that his display screen still
retains the color differentiation capability needed to distinguish between the various color-coded
areas, lines and point symbols of the ECDIS display.
The Color Test should be applied to the day and dusk color palettes.
Before the Color Test diagram is used, the black-adjust symbol SY(BLKADJ) should be brought up
on the screen, and the contrast and brightness controls (or equivalent controls for an LCD) should
be adjusted in a specific way.
To adjust the contrast and brightness do the following:
1.
