AIS INFO
The AIS INFO tab folder displays alphanumeric information for an activated
AIS target.
AIS targets are only shown in Transmit mode
shown when there is a valid position and heading
for own ship and
AIS Input is enabled in the AIS
Display window.
If a target is set to sleeping (see AIS Targets), its
data is automatically removed from AIS Info.
When AIS targets are not shown, received AIS
transmissions continue to be stored so that known
targets can be rendered quickly when conditions
indicate rendering should proceed.
When an AIS target has been selected the tab
folder includes the following information:
•
Target number assigned
•
Name of target vessel (if known)
•
Class A or B (targets prioritised in order of
importance, see `Classes and Types of AIS’)
•
Vessel MMSI
The button at the bottom of the AIS INFO tab
folder enables AIS safety messages to be sent to
selected AIS vessels (providing that AIS MKD
Control has been enabled in the Configuration tool).
The AIS INFO folder also includes the following tabs containing additional
AIS information:
•
Dynamic
•
Voyage
•
Static
AIS Target Information
Information relating to a target can be displayed by a left click on the target.
Relevant AIS Target information is then displayed in a Selected Target
window.
