5.2. Monitor Calibration

All information in electronic chart displays must be highly visible. To ensure this monitor must
be calibrated to display correct colors. This is very important, specially for night palettes, when
monitor is dimmed.
ECDIS color test for monitor calibration is also placed in IHO presentation library. Open library
by pressing Control + alt + shift + T, and select test diagram by pressing A – B – C- D- E or T on
the keyboard.
Check colors: Open test diagram T. All diagonal lines to clearly separate from background:
Check visibility of each color in the diagrams (A-E). If the monitor fails the test, it no longer
meets the minimum requirements for display performance. It should be evaluated by a qualified
engineer and be repaired or replaced as necessary.
This test must be performed with all color palettes on the system (day/dusk/night).
NB. If monitor settings has been changed manually in the monitor menu, or to make sure correct
settings are used, go to "setup" menu folder, press "Auxiliary" and select "recalibrate screen"
Brightness check: Open test diagram E and verify that the grey box is
clearly visible.
