ASTER CONS
Master Parameter Indicator ON indicates that the parameter is the master. This is
•
important when several sensors deliver the same data type.
Use for Extractor ON indicates that the value is sent to the Extractor Tracker board.

Sensor Monitor can work in two modes – Master and Slave. The mode is linked to ECDIS
Monitoring and Planning mode, i.e. switching ECDIS from Monitoring to Planning
mode switches Sensor Monitor from Master mode to Slave mode automatically.
The Master or Slave mode is important only for the Extractor/Tracker data because the Master
28
Sensor_Monitor sends data to Extractor/Tracker.
