Loading S57 charts from a CD ROM, floppy disk or LAN

When you load S57 charts by CD ROM catalogue, the system first loads a CD ROM catalogue, which stores certain
information into your hard disk such as cell IDs, their position, and edition number, from your LAN (Local Area
Network) connection, floppy disk or CD ROM. Then, the system asks which charts you want to load from the
chosen media. After building the CD ROM catalogue, you can view the contents of it using the Chart Catalogue
command in the Chart menu.
Note: All CD ROMs, floppies or LAN (Local Area Network) connections from one single National Hydrographic
Office have the same names although their contents could be totally different. You can use your own unique names
to identify them separately and correctly later.
To load by CD ROM catalogue, do the following:
1. Insert CD ROM or floppy disk to drive. Spin the thumbwheel to
show Menu/Info/Chart Menu in the mouse functions area and
then push the right mouse button.
2. Choose Load and Update Charts from the menu and "from CD
ROM" from the sub menu (see bottom figure at left). The default
load source is from CD ROM. Click the Load button to load from
a CD ROM. If you want to load from another ECDIS using LAN,
you have to change Load Dir. Click the Browse button to choose
a new Load Dir.
3. The ECDIS loads content summary and Product List from the CD
ROM and then opens the Load or Update Charts from CD ROM
dialog box.
4. The system automatically copies all text and pictures files
associated with charts from the CD ROM catalogue. The system
keeps only the latest version of these. If your system already has
newer text or pictures in use, you will get the notice below.
