ROUTE MONITORING OVERVIEW
A standard ECDIS installation includes a Monitoring workstation located on the ships bridge
and a Planning station on the chart table.
NOTE
The ECDIS software can run in either Monitoring mode or in Planning mode. The
current mode is displayed in the title bar in the caption of the chart window. The
route activation is available in the Monitoring mode only.
The route activation is disabled on Planning station. To switch a workstation from Monitoring
mode to Planning or vice versa, right double click in the title bar of the chart window and
activate the menu Set as Planning station or Set as Monitoring station.
ACTIVATING A ROUTE
When activating a route the user designates it as the route to be navigated. The ECDIS
changes the route legs to pecked lines, highlights the next waypoint and switches the
monitoring mode on.
To activate a route and switch on the route monitoring function on the Monitoring
workstation:
• Load the route to be activated.
• Click right button on one of the legs of the route.
• Select Activate xxx from the pop-up menu.
Alternatively a route can be activated from the Route Plan window with the button Activate
route.
REMARK
When an OE file is linked with the route the file is automatically loaded and all alarms of the
file activated.
DISPLAY
Only one route can be active at any time. An active route is displayed differently than other
routes on the chart inasmuch as the segment path is drawn dotted and the active waypoint
flashes making it more prominent on the screen.
