8.2.13 Track Control
NOTE
Track Control is not an ECDIS function. To activate this function an
AUTOPILOT System has to be connected. For detailed information ask
Raytheon Marine.
If an A utopilot R emote C ontrol P anel (ARCP Type 102 − 897, see
additional description no. 3307) is attached the operation is carried out
via this panel!
Once a route has been established, the Track Control command provides central
access to necessary navigation functions. You can use the Steer to Track dialog
box to:
• Activate track control
• Stop track control
•
Reactivate track control
The waypoint you are navigating to is called the ”active” waypoint.
ECDIS does not select an active waypoint until the Track Control command is
selected. Once the dialog box is open, it selects the first waypoint in the route as
the active waypoint.
Once an active waypoint has been selected, ECDIS circles the active waypoint
for which the waypoint alarm will be given, draws predicted and planned turning
arcs, as well as a dotted course line (planned track) between the waypoint and
your ship. Once you reach the active waypoint, ECDIS automatically makes the
next waypoint on the route the active waypoint and automatically draws the new
course line, and turning arcs. Even if you cut a corner off your route, or skip a
waypoint, ECDIS automatically makes the next waypoint the active one.
NOTE
If you want the Planned and Predicted Turning arc to be the same, you
must adjust either your rate of turn or the ship’s speed (Autopilot dialog
box/Integration see chapter 12.1.5)
