Selecting Raster Charts
The selection of raster charts is available from the Chart button on the
upper toolbar, providing raster charts have been configured in the
Configuration tool and a set of raster charts installed on the system.
Raster charts are available as ARCS format under the SevenCs chart
engine. ARCS charts are installed via the Chart Installation area of the
Chart Tools menu; this enables access to the separate SevenCs
ChartHandler utility
Listed below the SevenCs - ARCS database are all the available charts
within an area of own ship, or if own ship isn't on the display, the charts
available at the centre of the screen.
Installed charts will not be listed under their chart database if the
area covered by the charts is out of the display range.
Each chart is defined with a fixed scale ratio and a brief description of the
area the chart covers. When a raster chart is selected the chart is ticked on
the drop down list, the chart button shows the chart type and depth unit,
e.g.
ARCS - Metres and the chart is displayed on screen.
Permanent prompts ` Primary Display in RCDS mode ' and `ENC Chart
Data Available at Ship ' are displayed when raster charts are enabled.
