complete listing of available component types appears on page 113. If data is
not available for a component, the component will display a dash (“-“), and the
indicators for gauge type components will be at the end stop (or peg). More
complex components such as the compass will show a dimmed needle to
indicate data not being available. Where secondary data is not available to
perform a calculation to get the required parameter, every effort is made to
inform the user what secondary data is missing. (e.g. If variation is not available
to convert Magnetic Heading to True Heading the digital display will show “No
VAR”.)
9.1.5 Favorite Screens and Parameter Display
N2KView employs the concept of favorite screens. These screens are user-
customizable to display a group of components which generally will display
related parameters, such as engine data, navigation data, tank levels, and so on.
N2KView comes with the Alerts screen plus eight pre-defined favorite screens:
Engines, DC Systems, AC Systems, Navigation, Environment, Tanks, and
Miscellaneous. You may use the favorite screens as provided, modify them, or
delete them and create your own screens from scratch. There is no limit to the
number of favorite screens you can create.
The set of favorite screen, plus the configuration of the alerts and cameras is
called the system configuration. The system configuration may be saved to disk,
either as a backup or for transfer to another computer, or saved directly to the
IPG100 , where it may be downloaded by another N2KView. The system
configuration may also be saved to a USB Memory Stick and transferred to
another computer.
Protecting the System Configuration
Once the configuration has been set up, it may be protected by a password,
which prevents further authoring of the configuration by unauthorized users..
The authoring password is set in the Change Password Dialog (see section
9.4.3).
Any attempt to enter a dialog that has the potential to change the configuration
will result in the Password Dialog being displayed.
