<h1>AIS Plugin</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Introduction</h2>
|
|
|
|
The AIS feature displays a table containing the most recent information about vessels, base-stations and aids-to-navigation,
|
|
based on messages received via [AIS Demodulators](../../channelrx/demodais/readme.md).
|
|
Typically the AIS feature would be used with two AIS Demodulators: one at 161.975MHz and 162.025MHz.
|
|
|
|
The AIS feature can draw corresponding objects on the Map in 2D and 3D.

<h3>Vessels Table</h3>

The vessels table displays the current status for each vessel, base station or aid-to-navigation, based on the latest received messages, aggregated from all AIS Demodulators.

Right clicking on the table header allows you to select which columns to show. The columns can be reorderd by left clicking and dragging the column header.
|

Right clicking on a table cell allows you to copy the cell contents, view the vessel on a variety of websites or find the vessel on the map.
|
|
|
|
Vessels are removed from the table if a message is not received for 10 minutes.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Map</h3>
|
|
|
|
The AIS feature can plot ships, base stations and aids-to-navigation on the [Map](../../feature/map/readme.md). To use, simply open a Map feature and the AIS plugin will display objects based upon the messages it receives from that point.
|
|
Selecting an AIS item on the map will display a text bubble containing information from the above table. To centre the map on an item in the table, double click in the Lat or Lon columns.
