Position and speed area
This area shows the present position and the present true speed (relative to the ground) both
forward/aft (surge axis) and port/starboard (sway axis).
If you click these values, the position setpoints together with the text Setpoint are displayed
in another colour for a few seconds.

In Auto Position mode and
Joystick mode with automatic
position control in both surge
and sway:
In Joystick mode: In Joystick mode with either
the surge or the sway axis
under automatic control:
• The position deviation is
shown by filled circle
• The radius represents the
deviation from the position
setpoint.
• A number is showing the
distance to the setpoint.
• The colour of the circle
changes in relation to the
warning and alarm limits for
position deviation (if active).
- Green = Inside limits
- Yellow = Outside Warning
- Red = Outside Alarm limit
• If the position deviation
exceeds the display range, a
plus (+
++
+) sign is displayed in
the circle.
• An arrow shows if the
estimated position deviation is
decreasing or increasing.
- Green = Decreasing
- Pink = Increasing
• The joystick setpoint in
surge/sway is shown
graphically and numerically.
• The joystick setpoint is
indicated by the purple left or
upper bar and shown as two
percentage values ahead or
astern for surge and port or
starboard for sway.
• The response to the joystick
setpoint (feedback) is
indicated by the green right or
lower bar.
• The tilt of the joystick is
indicated by the filled purple
circle and dashed purple
coordinate lines that are
positioned relative to the
center of the cross formation
(zero tilt).
• The joystick setpoint and
response for the axis in
joystick control is indicated
as described for Joystick
mode.
• Position deviation in the axis
under automatic control is
indicated by a single two-
directional bar which
represents the deviation from
the position setpoint.
• The colour of the bar changes
in relation to the warning and
alarm limits for position
deviation (if active).
- Green = Inside limits
- Yellow = Outside Warning
- Red = Outside Alarm limit
• If the position deviation
exceeds the available display
range, a plus (+
++
+) sign is
displayed in the bar.
