Chart Installation
Importing Charts
CAUTION:
Importing charts will cause the VMFT application to shut down.
Charts can be installed onto a VMFT node in
one of three ways, depending on the chart
database being installed. The type of charts that
can be installed will also depend on the
configuration of your system (only those charts
which have been configured will be available).
1. C-Map charts are imported via the Sperry
Chart Installer.
2. SevenCs charts (ARCS, S57, S63 or VPF) are imported via the
SevenCs Chart Handler utility.
3. NAVTOR charts are loaded directly from CD/DVD.
In order to load charts a VM Security Block (sometimes referred to a
dongle) must be connected to one of the available USB sockets at the rear
of the PC. The VM dongle identifies the particular product type for the
workstation, (e.g. ECDIS, Chart Radar, Total Watch etc).
For a description of importing encrypted ENC (S-63) charts provided by
NAVTOR refer to `
NAVTOR Charts ’ in Chapter 1, ` Chart Installation ' of the
Supplementary Features User Guide, 65900014.
Importing C-Map Charts
For information regarding the importing C-Map charts, see Chapter 1,
`
Chart Installation ', ` Installing C-Map Charts ’ in the Supplementary
Features User Guide, 65900014.
Importing SevenCs Charts
The SevenCs ChartHandler is accessed via the Chart Installation window
and enables the loading of ARCS (raster format), S57/S63 and VPF charts
and chart permits. VPF (Vector Product Format) charts are treated as a
variant of S-57. The World Charts are preloaded into the VMFT.
The Chart Installation window also enables the expiration date of S63
certificates to be viewed and the certificate exported to an external device.
