How AIS Works
1.Press [MENU] key to open the main menu.
Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a reporting system used in the
identification of marine vessels and its location. Vessels equipped with this
system allows each other to communicate automatically, dynamically and
regularly update their position, speed, course and information such as vessel
identity.
How does AIS function as a radar?
The AIS radar function does not refer to its own AIS system and its features
such as the VHF T/R and Letter Machine but by serial interface through
(NMEA) which will be received by the AIS and sent to the radar on a real
time displayed on the radar screen.
