4.5 AIS Viewer Description
The AIS Viewer is a complementary charting software supplied with your WideLink
B600 purchase. The software installation file and its user manual can be found in the
provided CD-ROM.
This powerful tool allows users to display AIS targets either on a basic line map or in
an alphanumeric view. It transforms your PC to a user-friendly AIS data logger and can
trace other vessels with voyage track. Besides, the software offers various safety
features to help users be alerted during their voyage.
Once the program is installed, you can establish a connection to PC either
automatically or manually by assigning the COM port and baud rate. Please notice
that before trying to connect to PC, you should quit the Configuration Software or
vice-versa. The device can only establish connection to one software at a time. The
AIS CPA/TCPA setting can be configured via AIS Viewer.
