this work mode, the CP unit periodically scans all the available C-CARD slots search-
ing for MIRROR C-CARDs. When one or more MIRROR C-CARD is found (in
one or both CPs) a special connection is established between the CPs to abilitate the
MIRROR C-CARDs.
If a regular C-CARD which has previously activated a MIRROR C-CARD
is removed, even the MIRROR card will be not read anymore on the other unit.
4.8 C-LINK NAVIGATION DATA TRANSFER
This function allows transferring C-Link navigation data (Route Name, Des-
tination ID & Position, Next Waypoint ID & Position, Total Route length, Fuel
Consumption Rate, ETA, TTG etc.) (Hereinafter “C-Link navigation data”) between
two chart plotters linked through the C-Link system.
The chart plotters can be set to operate in two modes:
- MASTER mode (Primary Chart Plotter that sends data)
- SLAVE mode (Secondary Chart Plotter that receives data)
When the navigation is activated on the Master chart plotter, the C-Link
navigation data will be continuously sent to the Slave until the navigation is active.
If the Master is navigating to a Single Destination, the Slave will show the Destina-
tion position and activate the navigation to it.
If the Master is navigating to a Route, the Slave will show the Route Leg
composed by the Destination and the Waypoint after the Destination (Next Way-
point) and activate the navigation to it. Any variation to the current C-Link naviga-
tion data will be transferred from the Master to the Slave.
The Slave will be provided with a few dedicated pages to show the C-Link
navigation data received from the Master.

Introductive elements
It is important remark, once more, that this function does not transfer the
whole route but just the information relative to the navigation. Such information
will be removed from the Slave Chart Plotter as soon as the navigation is terminated.
C-Link navigation data is exchanged by using two NMEA-0183 C-MAP proprietary
sentences: $PCMPN,1 and $PCMPN,2.
When the navigation is activated on the Master, it starts outputting the C-Link
navigation data. If the Slave is connected, all C-Link navigation data received are
