Performance area
The performance area shows important performance information to allow immediate
assessment of the situation. The content of this view changes automatically according to the
selected main mode.
Several parts of the performance area are click-sensitive.
When the cursor is moved over an indicator that is defined as click-sensitive, it changes to a
pointing hand. At the same time a hotspot cursor text in a yellow frame (the tooltip) is
displayed for a few seconds. This text explains the use of the click-sensitive object.
Force Balance Area
The direction and magnitude of the thruster turning moment is indicated by the green, two-
directional bar located at the top of the area.
The direction of the thruster force, relative to the fore/aft and port/starboard axes of the vessel
is indicated by a green arrowhead that points out from the center of the vessel symbol.
The magnitude of the thruster force is represented by the shape and size (width) of the green
arrowhead.
The colour of the arrowhead and the text Force changes (typical values):
• Orange — 60% to 80%.
• Red — 80% to 100%.
The direction the wind comes from, relative to the vessel is indicated by a rotating purple
arrowhead that points in towards the center of the vessel symbol. The magnitude of the wind
force is represented by the shape and size (width) of the purple arrowhead.
The identification of the wind sensor in use is shown by the number following the purple text
Wind.
The direction the sea current comes from, relative to the vessel is indicated by a rotating blue
arrowhead that points in towards the center of the vessel symbol. The magnitude of the sea
current force is represented by the shape and size (width) of the blue arrowhead.
This area is click-sensitive. Clicking the left trackball button displays the thruster main (Thr
