AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): Wi-Fi
uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum
of 63 characters.
AIS (Automatic Identification System): Improves the safety of navigation by assisting in the
efficient operation of ship-to-ship location reporting and VTS applications.
AIS-EPIRB: EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) device with AIS
transmitter.
AIS-MOB: Man Over Board Device (Maritime Survivor Locating Device) with AIS transmitter.
AIS-SART: SART (Search And Rescue Transponder) device with AIS transmitter.
ALT (Altitude): Shows the Altitude of the GPS antenna on the mean sea level. It is received
from GPS, sentence GGA.
A-P: Atmospheric Pressure
A-T: Air Temperature
AWD (Apparent Wind Direction): Shows the Apparent Wind Direction when a external wind
instrument with NMEA is connected.
AWS (Apparent Wind Speed): Shows the Apparent Wind Speed when a external wind
instrument with NMEA is connected.
BRG (Bearing): The direction from your current position to a Destination point.
CDT (Count Down Timer): Measures how much of a pre-set period of time has elapsed (e.g.
Stopwatch).
COG (Course Over Ground): The course your vessel is heading.
DATE: Shows the current date received by the GPS.
DEPTH AREAS: Sea areas included in the user selectable range of minimum and
maximum depth limits.
DEW: Dew point Temperature
DPT (Depth):Shows the water depth when the optional FF525 50/200kHz BLACK BOX
FISH FINDER or digital Depth Sounder is connected.
DRAUGHT: Depth of water the vessel draws. The definition of draught (or draft) of a ship's
hull is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull (keel).
Draught determines the minimum depth of water a ship or boat can safely navigate. On
the Tide page the draught window shows the height of the tidal water during a 24hr period
of time. This height is dependent on the time of day.
DSC (Digital Selective Calling): Semi-automated method of establishing a VHF Radio Call.
DSC had also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System
(GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress
frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information
broadcasts.
DST (Distance): The distance from your current position to a Destination point.
E-BST: Engine Boost Pressure
E-C-PRS: Engine Coolant Pressure
E-HRS: Engine hours total
E-LOAD: Engine Load Percent
E-PRS: Engine Oil Pressure
