SECTION 5 - STATUS BAR 

The status bar at the bottom of the main window displays important information of the program and your transponder. 

 

The fields, from left to right, contain the following information: 

1.  LEDs 

On the left side you‟ll notice icons resembling LEDs. 

Connection Status 

The LEDs on the far left reflect the status of the connection. 

 

When you start the program you are not connected to the AIS device. 

You have made a connection but the program does not (yet) recognize the device. With amber light: 
some actions (menu items) do not work until the light is green. 

The program and the Nauticast

™-B are communicating properly – connection OK. 

 

LEDs on your Transponder 

These four LEDs show you which of the LEDs on your Nauticast

™-B are lit. Some possible patterns are: 

 

 The device is working and OK. 

 

The “Silent” mode is active – nothing will be sent. 

 An error happened. Read the error message and solve the problem. 

2.  Data Fields 

Most of the status bar is taken by fields that are duplicates of the “Own Ship Data”. 

MMSI 

This is the MMSI (9 digit Marine Mobile Service Identity) of the transponder connected to your PC. 

 

Latitude 

Your current latitude as computed by your GPS. The longitude and latitude are shown when the GPS 
receiver is able to determine  your position. This is the same position as the one shown in the “Own 
Ship Data

”. 

Longitude 

Your current longitude as computed by your GPS. 

 

COG 

Your current COG (Course Over Ground) as computed by your GPS.  

 

 

SOG 

Your  current  SOG  (Speed  Over  Ground)  as  computed  by  your  GPS.  The  units  can  be  selected  in  the 
program settings dialog. 

Date and Time 

The  UTC  date  and  time  as  transmitted  by  your  GPS  receiver.  Note  that  the  time  may  lag  a  few 
seconds.
