6.4 Sensors (Input/Output)
Data about the own vessel position, course, speed and other vessel movement characteristics, as
well as the data about the surrounding conditions is received using special navigation devices such
as positioning systems, gyro devices, and other sensors. The data received from the input devices is
processed and presented in the ECDIS software. Data can also be transmitted to other devices such
as autopilot, ARPA display and others – output devices. For the data to be received and transmitted
by the ECDIS software, the input and output sensors must be connected to the system and be
registered in the ECDIS software.
