Chapter 17: Automatic Identification System (AIS)

17.8Simulator
We recommend that you use the simulator to familiarize yourself with the AIS
function.
When the system simulator is switched on (see
page 285
), it displays 20 AIS targets
within a 25nm range. These targets are displayed using the appropriate AIS targets
status symbol (see
page 266
) and move around the screen as if they were real
targets.
Important
: Incoming safety messages cannot be displayed while the simulator is
switched on.
