Glossary<br />

A<br />

ACK: Acknowledge<br />

ACQ: Acquire, Acquisition<br />

Activation: Process that grants access to the software.The user submits first his Site Code and Serial number and<br />

then receives a custom Site Key.<br />

Activation Wizard: The Activation Wizard makes the software activation easier providing a user friendly interface<br />

made of windows and forms.Activation can be automated (trough the Internet), delayed (by automatic email or<br />

manual one) or totally manual.<br />

Active leg: is a segment of the route which is currently followed.<br />

Active route: If an autopilot is enabled, it will steer the boat along an active route, heading for each successive<br />

waypoint as it is activated.<br />

Active Waypoint: The active waypoint or mark is the waypoint or mark towards which you are currently traveling. An<br />

active waypoint slowly flashes to make it stand out on your screen.<br />

ADJ: Adjust, Adjustment<br />

AFC: Automatic Frequency Control<br />

AGC: Automatic Gain Control<br />

AIS: Automatic Identification System<br />

Alarm (XTE): Cross Track Error Alarm is activated when the boat has deviated from the desired path of travel. In<br />

certain areas, deviation from the route could put the vessel in danger. If you are using a route to travel from<br />

point to point, you can select an amount of cross track error allowable before an alarm will sound.<br />

ALT: Altitude<br />

AM: Amplitude Modulation<br />

ANT: Antenna<br />

AP: Autopilot<br />

ARPA: Automatic Radar Plotting Aid<br />

Automatic activation: This email is automatically generated by the Activation wizard and sent to our server to be<br />

processed.If sent data are correct, the user receives an answer email enclosing the Site Key to be entered into<br />

the Activation Wizard.<br />

Automatic Activation Email: This email is automatically generated by the Activation wizard and sent to our server<br />

to be processed.If sent data are correct, the user receives an answer email enclosing the Site Key to be entered<br />

into the Activation Wizard.<br />

Autopilot: A self-steering device which attaches to a vessel's steering mechanism to control the vessel's bearing.<br />

AUX: Auxiliary System/Function<br />

AWD: Apparent Wind Direction. This is abbreviated as AWD. In order to overcome the effects of current and leeway,<br />

a vessel which is trying to reach a given waypoint may not be able to steer straight towards it. As a result,<br />

onboard wind direction measurements - the AWD - may not be the same as the True Wind Direction (TWD).<br />

Your product derives TWD from AWD by taking any bearing deviation into account.<br />

AWS: Apparent Wind Speed - When the vessel is in motion, onboard wind speed measurements - the AWS - will<br />

differ from stationary measurements (True Wind Speed, or TWS). Your product derives TWS from AWS by<br />

taking the vessel's motion into account.<br />

B<br />

Bearing: a horizontal angle, measured from 0 to 90 degrees, fixing the direction of a line or direction of travel with<br />

respect to either a north or south direction.<br />

Bench mark: a relatively permanent material object, natural or man-made, with a known elevation. A bench mark<br />

can be used as a reference point when navigating a route or in determining the elevation of nearby land<br />

features.<br />
