ARCS

By default, ECDIS displays charts in a chart-by-chart mode. However the option

Seamless

mode

"ARCS seamless mode"

on page 94) is available making it possible to display the active

ARCS chart together with adjacent charts in a seamless way.

ARCS charts are scanned copies of paper charts. A displayed ARCS chart includes the same
information as appears on the copied paper chart. Source information about each chart is
accessible from the

ARCS properties

dialog.

Copy protection

ARCS charts are copy protected with a dongle. In order to use and display ARCS charts in
ECDIS it is necessary to:

•

Enter a valid ARCS PIN code when required.

•

Install ARCS chart permits.

•

Install the charts from the CDs and update them.

ARCS and multi ECDIS workstations

Where several ECDIS workstations are installed on board, duplicate dongles can be provided
using the same ARCS license. The chart licenses and updates have to be installed and
updated locally on each workstation.
