Changes since release 04.01
Overall operation related changes
Following alarms have been made available for recording into the Voyage log:
· 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2478, 2480, 2488, 2489, 2492, 2493, 2494, 2495, 2496, 2497 2498, 2498, 2501,
2503, 2504, 2505, 2506, 2507, 2509, 4027, 4028, 4029, 4030, 4031, 4033, 4034, 4036, 4037 and 4055
Following alarms have been removed from recording into the Voyage log:
· 2471 and 3201
Changed behaviour for following alarms
· Alarm "2010 Filter: Pos source change" : Kalman Filter and two GPS. Before change alarm 2010 was activated
also if only one DGPS lost differential signal. After change alarm 2010 is activated for above case only if
positions of two GPS separates more than 30 meters. The new behaviour remove unnecessary alarms for short
periods of lost DGPS, if there are no other consequences than lost differential mode.
· Alarm "2013 SOG COG unreliable"
· This has been too aggressive in rough sea condition (for ex. 40-50 separate alarms per 4 hours
period). After change the alarm condition lasts for 10 minutes, if second alarm occurs within 10
minutes. This will change separate alarms as one long alarm condition.
· This has been problematic for fast vessels and fast manual manoeuvres. Logic has been changed:
Alarm is not generated, if autopilot is not used or it is used in Heading Control mode. Vessels with
fast manoeuvres ("Max rate of turn" limit > 150 deg/min) use increased detection level for COG/SOG
unreliable condition.
AIS and ARPA targets viewing limitations
· Before change common limit for AIS and ARPA targets displayed on top of chart was 1:1 000 001 both for
ARCS and S57 charts. This was a problem for Ocean areas with ARCS charts, because large enough ARCS
charts were not available. After the change ARCS has display limit set so that AIS and ARPA targets are
displayed on top of the largest scale Ocean charts (original scale 1 : 3 500 000) when they are zoomed to
overscale.
AIS target data display
· Repeated messages received from shore station, following rules apply:
· If direct message from a target is not received then repeated message can be accepted.
· If direct message from a target is received then repeated message is not accepted.
Activation of Kalman Filter
· New behaviour includes a reset to position before activation of the Kalman Filter. This removes possibility that
own ship position jumps a lot after activation of Kalman Filter.
Changed Wind indication
· Before change the system indicated "True Wind" value based on the standard IEC 61162-1. After change the
system indicates "True Wind" as commonly understood by mariners. In practise old mode indication NORTH
and TRUE are replaced by indications TRUE and RELATIVE.
Changes since release 04.01 · 1
Following formats for Route Backup & Restore are available:
· Old formats: a) INC, b) ANTS, c) ASCII PROPRIETARY (previously name was ASCII)
· New formats: d) ASCII POSITION, e) ASCII WPNAME POSITION, f) ASCII POSITION
WPNAME, g) ASCII FULL. The idea behind the new formats is to enable exchange of route
data between ECDIS and common Office software for PC.
Chart related changes
ARCS charts
· ARCS Skipper service level is now available.
S57 charts
· Telecomm service from a RENC has removed (Primar-Stavanger will close this service from 6
of May 2004).
Conning Display related changes
Changed terminology in Track Pilot window:
· Previously used term "AUTOPILOT" is changed to "RADIUS Ctrl" or "HEADING Ctrl" depending on
selection on Track Pilot.
· Previously used term "ROUTE" is changed to "Goto WP" or "Goto Track" depending on selection on Track
Pilot.
Sensor related changes
Closed contact based interface for Central Alarm Systems has been added. This interface operates through Badapter. It is possible a) to acknowledge any alarm or B) mute the buzzer without acknowledge
Display alternatives
Display aspect ratio (Width : Height)
· Now displays with aspect ratio (4:3) or (5:4) can be used. Previously only displays with aspect ratio (5:4) could
be used. This change was done because many new flat screen models are based on (4:3) aspect ratio.
2 · Changes since release 04.01
Changes since release 04.00

compensated:
· Next
Position sensor related alarms
· Scattered SOG and/or COG from sensors causes a new alarm "2013 SOG&COG unreliable"
· If alarm 2013 is active, the system does not use dynamic WP for turns in "Goto WP" steering mode
· Alarm "2007 Position Discrepancy" is activated if set limit is exceeded between "Primary" and any
"Secondary" position sources or set limit is exceeded between own ship position and any position sensor. If
Kalman filter is in "ON" position the sensor who caused alarm 2007 is excluded from position calculation of
Kalman filter.
Position sensor related indications
· Together with alarm "2007 Position Discrepancy" a textual indication "Discrepancy" is shown for position
sensor in Pos page of Sensor.
· If position sensor has been excluded from position calculation by Kalman filter, a textual indication "Excluded"
is shown for position sensor in Pos page of Sensor.
New indication window for pending state and progress of Harmonization of Multi workstations operation mode
· Permanently shown with smaller window when harmonization is in pending state or in progress
· Details of harmonization in progress can be viewed or hidden on display
Changes since release 03.01 · 5
Route Monitoring
· It is now impossible to select a Planned Route as Monitored Route, if it contains geometry check errors (for
example waypoints are too close to each other etc.)
· Waypoint names are displayed together with waypoint number (before only number)
· List of waypoints is also available as narrow window on information area
· changed terminology for WP information
· Next WP changed to To WP
· Time changed to ETA
Route Planning
· Optional Voyage Optimization System (VOS) has not been available since 01.01.2000.
Alarms in general
· If an alarm is based on a state - for example missing sensor signal - then a silent pending alarm stay after
acknowledge of the alarm until the state changes.
· New relay output from B-Adapter for IEC 62065 Track Control standard related alarms. This relay open if any
of related alarms is unacknowledged for 30 seconds.
Operation mode of ECDIS
· A new mode for ECDIS has been added, which is called "Standby". Standby mode is intended for staying in a
harbour, when you need to switch off audible alarms from the ECDIS.
Chart related changes
ARCS charts
· A history log has been added to record load and update of charts
S57 charts
· SENC conversion speed has been improved in general. Also the SENC converter can perform multiple updates
in one sequence without writing the intermediate results into Harddisk. This further speed up SENC conversion
for large amount of updates.

Changes since release 03.00
Overall operation related changes
Radar echo overlay
· Radar echo trails on ECDIS has been changed from green to blue colour.
Navigation tools (Tool Set 1 and Tool Set 2):

· In Tool Set 2 presentation of VRM, EBL and Parallel Index are as dotted dashed line type
Navigation sensors:
· Distance and Trip counters have separate fields both through water and over ground distances.
Presentation of Time and Date in ECDIS:
· In ECDIS local time is indicated with text "LOCAL TIME" (before it was used specific name for local time
zone).
Changes since release 03.00 · 7
Changes since release 02.02
Overall operation related changes
Terminology used in ECDIS is harmonised to comply with IMO resolution MSC 64 for Integrated Bridge System
(IBS).
· Terms Speed Made Good (SMG) and Course Made Good (CMG) have been changed to terms Speed Over
Ground (SOG) and Course Over Ground (COG).
· Term Course, where it was used to mean the horizontal direction in which the longitudinal axis of a ship actually
points or heads at any instant, has been changed to Heading (Hdg):
· Alarm "2002 No course available" has been changed to "2002 No heading available"
· In Spd/Crs page of Sensor Manual Course has been changed to Manual Heading.
AIS Targets
· It is now possible to display AIS targets top of ECDIS chart presentation.
· New alarms include :
· alarm "3500 AIS target overflow" if Maximum count of AIS targets set to be displayed on ECDIS has been
exceeded within defined Maximum range.
· alarm "3501 AIS target storage full" if Maximum count of AIS targets which can be stored for displaying
on ECDIS has been exceeded.
· alarm "3502 Dangerous AIS target" if AIS target has met dangerous target limit set by CPA and TCA.
· alarm "3503 Lost AIS target" if no update information received from AIS target within defined reporting
interval of vessel type.
· alarm "4037 AIS receive error" if connection to AIS transponder fails.
Common reference system
· It is now possible to configure multiple ECDIS workstation to use common harmonised data bases (i.e. Charts,
User Charts, Routes, Pilot Data etc.), common Alarm management, common Sensors and common Navigation
features. See more in chapter "Common Reference System".
Navigation sensors:
· Alarm "2008 Filter. Speed below 4kt" has been changed to 2008 Filter. Speed below XXkt" where value of
XX is set in Installation Parameter of ECDIS.

D-signal in DGPS
· If no data from gyro when using Program Track Turn, an alarm "2493 ProgTurn: Stop-Sensor Fail"
· If no data from gyro when using route steering (goto WP or goto Track), an alarm "2497 Route: Stop-Sensor
Fail"
· The system generates an alarm "4038 Datum mismatch" (alarm numbers are from 4038..4043 depending of
position receiver), if output Datum of a selected Position sensor (status any other than Off) is changed from
WGS84 to another Datum. This feature requires that the position receiver is type approved based on IEC
61162-1 Ed2 (July 2000).
· The system generates an alarm "4044 Datum change" (alarm numbers are from 4044..4049 depending of
position receiver), if output Datum of a selected Position sensor is changed from another Datum to WGS84 and
8 · Changes since release 02.02
if the user has used selection Primary or Secondary. This feature requires that the position receiver is type
approved based on IEC 61162-1 Ed2 (July 2000).

direction and distance.
· Route plan can include links to User Chart and Pilot Data, which user has planned to be used together with a
planned route during Route Monitoring. This feature is called Route assistant.
· Check feature of the Route Plan has been changed. It now uses a separate set of Chart Alarm categories and
separate value of Safety Contour. This new arrangement allows user to plan routes for different conditions than
the current condition for real-time navigation. This feature is called Route assistant.
Route Monitoring
· It is now possible to view list of waypoints for Monitored Route

Overall operation related changes
Navigation sensors
· If position alignment is used then user is reminded of it every 30 minutes. Alarm "2011 ChartAlign: over 30
min".
· In multiple sensor case the Kalman filter indicates changes in its position sources with a new alarm "2010
Filter: Pos source change".
· Kalman filter uses always higher priority for known high precision position sensors than for normal position
sensors (i.e. A DGPS has always higher influence to estimate than a GPS or LORAN)
· Alarm "4027 DGPS pos source change" uses now always a continuous beep until acknowledged. Before the
beep style was dependent of the steering mode. Also the priority of this alarm is readjusted (before some less
important alarm could suppress it in the priority list).
· Alarm "2008 Filter. Speed below 4kt" is now based on ground speed (before water speed). The Kalman filter
indicates this situation also with an permanent indication of BAD FILTER.
· Reference target based gyro error correction has now an alarm for lost correction value. Alarm "2353 RefTgt:
Lost gyro corr.".
· Activation of Reference target requires that there is at least 8 free tracking channels available. If the connected
ARPA radar has less than 8 free tracking channels then there is an alarm "2353 RefTgt: Tracking full".
Route Monitoring
· Selection of "Center and border lines for ARPA radar display" .in route monitoring window is dependent of
used radar display type.
· Alarm "2457 Route: Outside channel limit" is activated once when the ship goes out of the channel limits.
Before the alarm was reactivated every 5 minute. NOTE the permanent indication of "OUTSIDE CHANNEL"
operates as before and give always an indication of route tracking status.
Past Tracks
Own ship has now three separate past tracks:
· "System", which is the past track of the system position used for navigation and steering.
· "Primary", which is the past track of a position sensor selected as Primary.
· "Secondary", which is the past track of position sensors selected as Secondary.
Speed Vectors
· There is now a selection between true and relative speed vectors for own ship and ARPA targets. Before only
true vectors were available.

Radar echo overlay
· There is now a selection between true and relative radar echo trails. Before only relative trails were available.
Details log
· details log for last 12 hours include now course over ground and gyro correction in order to provide more
complete recording
Chart related changes
S57 and ARCS charts
· chart display has more alternatives to individually select visibility of different text on chart
· Info Request has now transparent area fill for better indication of the area in question
· Info Request show now the coded text for each picked object. Before only attributes and their values were
available. This change eases for example usage of light descriptions.
S57 Chart
· Chart Catalogue uses colour coding to indicate up-to-date chart and non up-to-date charts.
· Telecomm order of Charts and updates open now automatically "Order queue window" and inform the user
about end of orders when all requested transactions are complete.
