3.5 Target list
The target list screen is shown by default after power up. This screen shows the name (or MMSI), range (in
nautical miles) and bearing (in degrees) of other AIS equipped vessels. The nearest vessel is shown at the top
of the list. Only the 200 nearest vessels are shown in the target list, more distant vessels may be viewed if an
AIS enabled external display, RADAR or ECDIS is connected to the transceiver.
Figure 5 Target list screen and vessel details view
When the target list screen is displayed the scroll wheel can b
e used
to move through the list. Full details of
the highlighted vessel can be shown by pressing the ‘Select’ function key, or pushing the scroll wheel. To return
to the target list from the vessel details screen press the ‘Back’ key. Whilst the vessel details screen is displayed
it is possible to view details of the next and previous vessels in the vessel list using the left and right function
keys without returning to the target list screen.
3.6 Own vessel and voyage data
This screen shows own vessel and voyage related data. This data relates to the vessel on which the transceiver
is installed.
