AIS Display Button
The AIS button, located on the upper toolbar, enables you to quickly
access the AIS Display window by left clicking on the button.
The AIS Display window enables the AIS input to be switched on and off.
AIS targets are tracked and displayed on the chart window when AIS input
is enabled.
When the Enable Input check box is ticked the
AIS Display button is displayed as shown. The
AIS Display button is shown in a lighter tone
when
AIS Priority is selected from the Target
Display window.
When AIS input check box is un-ticked, a white
diagonal line appears through the AIS button
and all AIS targets are removed from the chart
window. AIS transmissions will continue to be
stored so that known targets can be rendered
quickly when the AIS display is re-enabled.
If the Activate on CPA/TCPA/BCR check box is ticked and an AIS
target infringes these limits (as defined in Limits and Settings), the
AIS display is automatically activated.
The default setting for AIS target filters is for all filter settings to
be switched on, for a description of AIS Filter Settings, see AIS
Display. If any AIS filter settings are switched off the AIS button is
displayed with an additional AIS icon in white outline.
For information on AIS display settings and other AIS related data, see
`AIS Display’ in Chapter 10 Targets.
