Argus Radar Operator Manual

ECDIS interface functions

When the unit is configured to be connected with ECDIS, a new pushbutton will be available
in the lower part of the main menu. Press the ECDIS pushbutton to opent the ECDIS menu.

Main menu with ECDIS

The menu contains two checkboxes to enable streaming of the synthetic video to the ECDIS
console. The point to point connection address of the ECDIS console is defined under the
“Radar Configuration” menu. See the Installation Manual for a description of the ECDIS con-
nection setup.
Up to two video streams to two ECDIS consoles are available. Figure below shows the menu
when two ECDIS LAN destinations are configured in the radar setup.

With the ECDIS interface, which sends packets containing points, line types, fonts and coordi-
nates, it is possible to show this information on the screen in map form with specific symbols,
see illustration next page.
