The dialog box appears.
The Waypoint Approach Alarm
The Alarms dialog box allows also to adjust the time at which an
alarm is to be given when the ship is approaching the wheel−over−
point.
The alarm will be released at the specified time before the vessel will
reach the wheel−over−point.
If the ECDIS is used with the Autopilot NP 20.. this time value can be
adjusted between 3 and 6 minutes.
Cross−Track Error Alarm
The cross−track error alarm is used to generate a warning message
when Own ship's distance from track (either port or starboard) is ex−
ceeding a specific distance. The vessel's current cross−track error is
displayed in the Information Panel.
