5.5 Configuration File
The vessel information displayed in the playback application is automatically configured via the
ship’s configuration file. This file is created by the installation technician during the installation of
the VDR and is stored within each of the three final recording media (LTRM, FRM and FFRM).
Upon start-up of the Playback application, the last stored configuration file, applicable for the
downloaded dataset, will automatically be loaded.
Although the Playback can be modified to display specific items in the case of an incident the
underlying data files and configuration history remains intact.
With the NW6000, the ship’s configuration file is included in a dataset. When a dataset is
selected the configuration file will be automatically reloaded as necessary.
