This parameter specifies which port the R5 SOLID
should use as its external position source. The default
value of this parameter is “Automatic” which means that
the R5 SOLID will accept position information on any
port and use the information on the port with highest
priority.
If Position Source is set to anything other than
“Automatic”, the R5 SOLID will only accept position
information if it comes from the port specified by this
parameter.
This parameter determines if SART Test targets should
be displayed in Target List and Plot views of the R5

It also controls if connected systems, for example
ECDIS, will receive SART Test targets.
