active. Active AIS targets are shown with a large triangle with speed vector, headline, rot indicator, etc. Further, the
operator can pick active AIS targets and change their status to non-active.
An indication of AIS target display capacity limit is given well before it is reached. When 95% of user set limit is
reached for displayed AIS targets, the alert "636 AIS display 95% full" appears. When user set limit is reached, the
alert "637 AIS display 100% full" appears.
An indication of AIS target processing capacity limit is given well before it is reached. The alert "638 AIS storage
95% full" will be given when 95% of 1,500 targets are in storage buffer and the alert "639 AIS storage 100% full"
will be given when 1,500 targets or more are in storage buffer.
Chart Radar generates AIS-related alerts and these are "Alert 632: AIS dangerous target" and "Alert 633: AIS lost
target". Only active AIS targets generate alerts. The operator can enable or disable AIS target alerts as desired. The
feature "active and sleeping AIS targets" is very effective for focusing on only those AIS targets that need
supervision. The Chart Radar further eases the task of the operator by automatically changing non-active targets to
active targets, if they meet the dangerous target limits set by CPA and TCPA.
