Page 18: Basic Operation
Basic Operation In order for the Artemis system to output positional data to a vessel’s DP system, the local station needs to be tracking a remote station. This section explains how to achieve this. It contains the following pages: • section on page 19 Tracking Overview •... -
Page 19: Basic Operation Tracking Overview
Tracking Overview When an Artemis-equipped vessel moves within operating range of a remote station, the two stations will lock on to each other if the following conditions are met: • The correct remote station has been selected within the vessel’s Artemis Control Software (see Selecting a Remote Station on page 20). -
Page 20: Selecting A Remote Station
Selecting a Remote Station Although the local Artemis station tracks only one remote station at a time, it can be configured with a list of multiple prospective stations (see Artemis Mk6 Installer’s Guide). The side bar of the Dashboard screen displays the description of the currently selected remote station, its address code and the frequency pair used when the local station communicates with it. -

4. Click on the Apply (tick) button to confirm. Note that the scan sector cannot be narrower than 5°, nor can it extend into the dark grey area of the BEV (defined by the End Limits - see Artemis Mk6 Installer’s Guide). -
Page 22: Tracking Information Quality
Tracking Information Quality When the system is locked, the coordinates of the remote station and the strength of the signal received from it are displayed at the top of the side bar (or on the main screen if Coordinates Layout Mode has been selected). This data is colour coded: The colours denote signal strength: Red: -80dB to -62dB... -
Page 23: Dp Feeds
DP Feeds Up to four ports of the Artemis Control PC can be configured as DP Feed channels, in order to output positional data to the vessel’s DP system (see 94-0441-4 Artemis Mk6 Installer’s Guide). The state of each channel, its data format and the most recent data output can be viewed on the Dashboard. -
Page 24: Multi-Dashboard Artemis Systems
Multi-Dashboard Artemis Systems An Artemis system can include multiple PCs, each running the Dashboard program. At any given time all of the Dashboards may be in Monitoring Mode, or else one Dashboard – and only one – may be in Command Mode. This section explains the difference between the two modes and how to switch between them. -
Page 25: Multi-Dashboard Artemis Systems Artemis Dashboard - Command Mode
Artemis Dashboard – Command Mode It is necessary to run a Dashboard in Command Mode in order to use its system control functions (e.g. adjusting the scan sector or activating a different remote station). Any changes made in these areas will be evident on the screens of the monitoring Dashboards. On the other hand, display options such as screen brightness or vessel orientation can be set differently on each individual Dashboard, whether it is in Command or Monitoring mode. -
Page 26: Artemis Dashboard - Monitoring Mode
Artemis Dashboard - Monitoring Mode When the Dashboard is running In Monitoring Mode the controls relating to the Dashboard itself will be active, but those relating to other parts of the system will be disabled. Monitoring Dashboards display the same positional information as the Dashboard in Command, but cannot search for a remote station, activate a different one or suspend the local station. - Page 27 Support Information This section contains the following pages: • Serial Numbers and Software Versions on page 28 • on page 29 Network Communications Settings • on page 30 Sensor Settings • on page 31 Using the On-Screen Keyboard • on page 32 Working with Alarms •...

Automatic causes the power mode to be automatically switched between Normal and Reduced depending on the current range between the stations. Guidance Marine recommend that the power mode is set to automatic. Anti-Icing When this is set to Auto and the temperature falls towards freezing point, the heating inside the Artemis antenna will automatically be switched on. -
Page 31: Using The On-Screen Keyboard
Using the On-Screen Keyboard The Artemis Dashboard provides an On-Screen Keyboard (OSK), which allows text to be input using a mouse, trackball or touch screen. To enable the on-screen keyboard The OSK will already be enabled if you selected this option during installation of the Dashboard. -
