Performance characteristics
Select Performance characteristics from the Vessel settings to enter vessel specific details.
The vessels dimensions are used to draw the ship’s outline on the chart approximately to
scale. The height, draft, and other performance characteristics constrain the user routes
created, and are related to grounding and safety checks.
¼ Note: The Common Reference Point is a common point selected on the ship (usually the con-
ning station), to which all sensors are referenced to.
The Common Reference Point must be set in relation to the measurements of your own ship.
Offset data must be entered correctly to compensate for the offset between the location of
your sensors.
Parameters
Select Parameters from the Vessel settings to enter vessel’s unique identification details.
¼ Note: The MMSI number is required to prevent own vessel’s AIS target appearing overlaid on
the vessel icon, and causing false alarms as a dangerous target.
