Configuring console options
The data acquired from the sensors that are connected to the ECDIS system is displayed in
the console area. The layout of the console area can be adjusted according to the available
sensors and the selected tools according to OOW preferences and task at hand.
It is possible to predefine several configurations of the console layout in order to use an
appropriate layout according to the current type of work. For example, a configuration can
be defined for route monitoring displaying only active waypoint, drift and target information.
Another configuration can also be defined for docking including Ship’s parameters, drift and
the cursor position.
