Tools/Settings
The System Menu | Tools/Settings option contains general configuration tools and
the Exit Application button.
View Manager
Use the View Manager tool to customize how Jeppesen Workboat Navigator
screens are laid out.
View Manager is where you set up how Jeppesen Workboat Navigator displays charts
and other data. This customized layout of charts and data, also called a "View", can
be configured to display one content type at a time, or be divided into multiple window
panes, each pane containing a different content type. See Chapter 3 - Setting Up
Workboat Navigator for information on how to use View Manager.
Options
The Options window contains eight tabs specific to various aspects of the program
and selections that will determine defaults for these areas. They include COM
Ports settings, Radar settings, Units defaults selections, a number of miscellaneous
settings, audio selections, Targets default settings, and Video input information.
Ports: Configure Tab
WARNING:
Do not change the Ports: Configure settings unless you have a
solid understanding and experience configuring Input and Output COM Ports.
Use the Ports: Configure Tab of the Options menu to set up Input and Output
COM Ports.
NOTE:
See the Jeppesen Workboat Navigator Installer’s Guide for
information on how to configure your Input and Output COM ports for specific
devices.
Input Ports: Designates COM ports that will receive data from other devices.
Output Ports: Designates COM ports to which data will be sent.
From the COM Input Configuration window, you can include or exclude specific data
sentences or entire device sentence streams. Click on the More Info button for
more examples.
Require Valid Checksums On All Sentences: If this option is enabled, Jeppesen
Workboat Navigator will ignore any data that does not contain a valid checksum
(used to validate incoming data). Equipment conforming to previous versions of
NMEA 0183 specifications do not always use checksums in all data sentences.
Require Checksums To Be Valid if Present: If selected, Jeppesen Workboat
Navigator validates sentences that contain checksums, but accepts sentences
that do not contain checksums.
Report Checksum Discrepancies: If selected, Jeppesen Workboat Navigator
creates an alert if a checksum error is found.
Ignore Invalid GPS Position Data: If selected, Jeppesen Workboat Navigator
ignores GPS data that is inconsistent with other input.
WARNING:
AIS and GPS data streams should always be set up on separate
ports. Failure to do so may result in Jeppesen Workboat Navigator losing the
GPS data signal, thereby setting off alarms unrelated to actual threats
Detect GPS MOB and MOB Hardware: Used to detect NMEA sentences
related to MOB coming from devices such as a GPS or other MOB-specific
hardware you may have onboard.
