o SELECT – mode for setting the point on the ownship track, which the situation playback is started from.
The place is selected by using the trackball/mouse or <↑↓> keyboard keys on the Chart panel;
o REPLAY – playback of the situation. This is a playback of the situation selected for viewing. The position of
the ships, targets positions and their motion vectors are reconstructed from the day archive files. At the
moments of time, which correspond to the whole minutes of the modeled time, all ships are placed in the
recorded coordinates. In the time intervals between the minutes, the ships are moving along the straight
line towards the next point. The targets' motion vectors are smoothened out from minute to minute.

Chapter 5. Description of Play Back Utility • Software Description 49
l The toolbar contains the following buttons:
o To move the ship to the beginning of the track of the selected day file;
o To start the fast-time ship motion back from the current position;
o To start the situation playback process (Replay);
o To stop the situation playback (switch to Demo state);
o To start the fast-time ship motion forward from the current position;
o To move the ship to the end of the track of the selected day file.
l Start by cursor – to set the played back situation start point with a trackball/mouse or <↑↓> keyboard
keys. As this is done, the ship moves on the Chart panel to the point corresponding to the set time. The
time is changed (incremented/decremented) with 1 minute discretion;
l Time Step – to select time scale for the played back situation.
Playback of the Own Ship Track in Play Back Utility

The own ship position and its motion parameters (HDG/STW/COG/SOG) are reconstructed from the day
archive files.
There are two ways to display the own ship track:
l Statically (own ship track);

l Dynamically (as the events are played on the time scale set by the operator, the ship symbol motion is
shown too); at the moment of time set by the operator and corresponding to the 10 sec time points of
the modelled time, the own ship symbol is positioned in the recorded coordinates; in the intervals
between 10 sec time points, the ship is moving along the straight line towards the next point. As the last
point recorded for the given segment is approached, the playback is stopped. If it is necessary to change
the situation playback step, Time Step function is used. A press on Start by cursor button will allow the
situation to be played back by using the trackball (mouse) or <↓↑> keys;
l The detailed track is recorded concurrently with a normal track if appropriate settings have been made in
the System Configuration utility. During the playback, it is the detailed track, which is by default played
back first, and then a normal track after its end. Since the detailed track is stored for a certain number of
days, if the track for the given date is played back after a considerable time interval, the normal track only
will be reproduced.

Playback of Target Tracks in Play Back Utility

The Play Back utility implements a dynamic graphic display of the target data. Targets’ coordinates and their
motion parameters are reconstructed from the archive day InsTargets.tgt files. At the moments of time
corresponding to the time points of the modelled time, all the targets are positioned in the recorded
coordinates. These points can correspond to the 10th, 20th or 60th second of every minute depending on the
settings made in the System Configuration utility as of the recording moment.
In the time intervals between this points, targets are moving along the straight line towards the next point.
Therefore, the targets’ vectors are “smoothed out” in accordance with the recording discretion. For the fast-
time playback, the operator can set the time scale for the targets’ motion.
Playback of Radar Overlay in Play Back Utility

The radar overlay is played back in accordance with the date and time selected by the operator. The “picture”
is changed with a frequency, which was set in the recording interval parameter, the modeled time scale taken
into account. The playback duration depends on the recording duration. The recording discretion (from 1 to
60 seconds) is set in the System Configuration utility during the installation (see Multi-Functional Display (v.
3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I , Chapter 2, section MFD Configuration, paragraph MFD Settings, item 13).
If there is no radar overlay data for a certain moment of time, the playback is stopped.

Chapter 5. Description of Play Back Utility • Using of Play Back Utility 51
Playback of Other Data

The echosounder, wind, water temperature and route monitoring data (XTD, time of the monitored route
loading/unloading) are stored in the InsTrack.trk day files. The monitored route itself is stored separately
in the daily folder. During the playback, this data is reproduced with a direction set for its recording in the
System Configuration utility:
l Echosounder – 10 or 20 sec;
l Wind – 10, 20, 30 and 60 sec;
l Water temperature – 20, 30 or 60 sec;
l Route monitoring data – 10 or 20 sec.
The monitored route itself is loaded for the reproduction on the chart panel is loaded for the Route subfolder
of the daily folder where it is stored.
