The electronic charting system, known as ECDIS [Electronic Chart and DIsplay System] is available in the following version:
> Real ECDIS Systems
> ECA-Sindel ENC system
According the training requirements, one [or both] of the above radar system can be installed in the simulator.
ECS [ ELECTRONIC CHART SYSTEM]
REAL ECDIS Systems
It is possible to use any kind of commercial ECDIS, using raster or vectorial maps, that provided a NMEA input data port.
Proposed ECDIS brand are shown hereunder:
ECA-Sindel ECS System
The ECS system developed by ECA-Sindel is a vectorial system based on the same file format used by the simulator for managing and controlling the exercise(s) from the instructor station(s).
It have therefore all the visualization capabilities of the Instructor station:
- Zoom controls
- Selective map components visualization [cost profile, radar, depth,etc]
- Target visualization filters and controls [past track, mask/unmask,info windows]
- Measurement tools [radial or square grids]
- AIS symbols
- Color customization
- Drawing tools
