R5 SOLID AIS System
OPERATION
7000 118-200, C2 Page 41
4.6 Status Bar
The top of the screen of the R5 SOLID always displays a summary of the system’s status.
See illustration below.
If a valid navigation position is available, it is displayed to the left. The status icons are
displayed in the middle and the current time is shown to the right. Time is either UTC or
local (LOC). Beneath the current time there is also information about the transponder’s
synchronization state. The synchronization state can be:
UTC Direct – This is the normal state where the R5 SOLID gets the UTC time
from its own internal GPS receiver.
Indirect Synchronization – The R5 SOLID is synchronizing based on receipt of
data from other AIS transmitters.
NOTE: It is possible to be in Indirect Synchronization but still have a valid position
in the upper left corner of the status bar. The position information may be from an
external GPS sensor, but UTC Direct synchronization can only be taken from the
internal GPS receiver.
