    General User Input ENERAL The ECDIS900 is a window based Human Computer Interface (HCI) where operator requested information is obtained from menus and dialogue boxes on the display. The mouse is the main operating tool for the system. A keyboard is also necessary for alphanumeric data entering .

  • Page 7: Sensors

    Sensors restore the complete ECDIS system (Operating system, ECDIS application, basic charts, etc.) that has the initial configuration. ENSORS For a complete description of the interface between Sensors and ECDIS900 see Input/O utput chapter. THERNET INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL DATA FLOW Ethernet and TCP/IP protocol are the core of the system for the intercommunication between software modules and also for data exchange between the ECDIS Planning (Back-up) and Monitoring stations.
  • Page 8 Ethernet: internal and external data flow The two ECDIS share same sensor data information. Serial data is analysed and • broadcasted on the LAN and therefore the other ECDIS workstation can use the same sensor input data. Routes are usually planned on the Planning station and then transferred to the •...
