ARCS OVERVIEW
By default, ECDIS displays charts in a chart-by-chart mode. However the option
ARCS in seamless
mode
is available making it possible to display the active ARCS chart together with adjacent
charts in a seamless way.
ARCS charts are scanned copies of paper charts. A displayed ARCS chart includes the same
information as appears on the copied paper chart. Source information about each chart is
accessible from the dialogue ARCS Properties.
COPY PROTECTION
ARCS charts are copy protected with a dongle. In order to use and display ARCS charts in
ECDIS it is necessary to:
• Enter a valid ARCS PIN code when required.
• Install ARCS chart permits.
• Install the charts from the Cds and update them.
ARCS AND MULTI ECDIS WORKSTATIONS
Where several ECDIS workstations are installed on board a ship, duplicate dungles can be
provided using the same ARCS license. The chart licenses and updates have to be installed
and updated locally on each workstation.
