AIS Collision Alarm (CPA, TCPA)

This radar calculates CPA and TCPA by using own ship and relative target positions.
An AIS dangerous target is one whose CPA and TCPA are within the range of the CPA
and TCPA limits set in the TT/AIS box. The AIS symbol of an AIS dangerous target is
red and flashing, and is announced with the Alert 191 "AIS COLLISION". After the alert
is acknowledged the target symbol is displayed in red color.
When a sleeping or an activated target violates the CPA/TCPA
alarm setting its symbol changes to the dangerous target
symbol (red and flashing) and the message "AIS COLLISON"
appears. Press the ALERT ACK key (or click the [ALERT] box
with the left button) to acknowledge the CPA/TCPA alarm. The
audible alarm is silenced and the symbol stops flashing.
Take appropriate action to avoid collision.
