Saab R5 - Regional Areas Configuration

R5 SOLID AIS System
OPERATION
7000 118-200, C2 Page 34
When operating in Inland Mode, extra convoy size can be added to ship dimension
Extra convoy size on each side (value = 0 if convoy not used):
 Bow [m] (one decimal precision)
 Stern [m] (one decimal precision)
 Port side [m] (one decimal precision)
 Starboard [m] (one decimal precision)
The extra convoy parameters can be configured from Main MenuVoyageConvoy
Settings when the Ship Size Mode is set to “Simplified”.
In this mode there is no way for the user to input mismatching data, all parameters
uses the same precision and each measurement is entered only once (in standard
mode it is for example possible to enter three different lengths of ship: Convoy/ship
length, internal A+B and external A+B). In simplified mode the transponder will
automatically calculate and correctly round the A, B, C and D values reported on the
VHF link.
