14. AIS TARGET FUNCTIONS
14-13
14.11 TT, AIS Target Association
A vessel that carries an AIS transponder is marked on the display with both an AIS-
symbol (based on GPS position) and a TT symbol (radar-detected target) To avoid the
presentation of two target symbols for the same physical target, use the"association"
function. If target data from both AIS and TT are available and if the association criteria
are fulfilled, either the AIS or TT symbol is presented according to the association
method selected. Association will not happen between AIS and TT if the AIS target is
sleeping.
The target data to have priority is controlled from the [TT/AIS] page in the [Overlay/
NAV Tools] box. Click the arrow circled in the figure below to select target data prior-
ity;.
Note: The association data priority can also
be selected from a context menu. Right-click
the arrow on the TT/AIS page to display the
window shown right.
14.12 How to Display Own Ship Data
You can see own ship's data on the [Own Ship] page in the [NAV Status] menu. Open
the menu then click both [NAV Status] in the [TT/AIS] menu and the [Own Ship] tab.
