COMMUNICATION STATUS
PARAMETER ICONS
• Green circle indicates that the parameter is correctly analysed.
• Black circle indicates that the parameter is either no longer received or is received with
errors. (Further checking recommended using Configuration Dialogue)
SENSOR ICONS
• Yellow arrow indicates that the Sensor is working properly and receives data.
• Black arrow indicates that the data source has stopped sending data
MASTER ICONS
• Master Parameter Indicator ON indicates that the parameter is the master. This is
important when several sensors deliver the same data type.
• Use for Extractor ON indicates that the value is sent to the Extractor Tracker board.
MASTER AND SLAVE MODES
Sensor Monitor can work in two modes – Master and Slave. The mode is linked to ECDIS
Monitoring and Planning mode, i.e. switching ECDIS from Monitoring to Planning
mode switches Sensor Monitor from Master mode to Slave mode automatically.
The Master or Slave mode is important only for the Extractor/Tracker data because the Master
Sensor_Monitor sends data to Extractor/Tracker.
