time in this field, the alert will return to the “Active” state, and annunciators will
begin sounding again for that alert.
If a value of 0:00 is entered, then the alert will never re-trigger.
Offset Heading Set Point, Set Delay – If the direction being monitored differs
from the reference direction by more than the Offset Heading Set Point for longer
than the time specified in the Set Delay field, the alert will become active.
Offset Heading Clear Point, Clear Delay – If the alert is active and the direction
being monitored differs from the reference direction by less than the Offset
Heading Clear Point for longer than the time specified in the Clear Delay field,
the alert will become inactive.
Reference Direction – Enter the desired reference direction into this field. If the
monitored value differs from this value by more than the Offset Heading Set
Point, the alert will be triggered.
Get Current Heading – Pressing or clicking on this button will transfer the
current value of the direction being monitored into the Reference Direction Field.
10.3.6.4.13 Course Alert
A Course Alert is used to indicate that the course over ground (COG) has
changed from the reference direction more than a programmable amount. For
example, once a course has been established, an alert can be generated if the
course changes more than a specified amount. The reference direction can be
selected from the current direction (COG) or it can be manually entered.
The Course Alert is identical to the Direction Alert. In the editor, the word
Direction is replaced by Course.
10.3.6.4.14 Time Alert
N2KView can be configured with alerts that go active at a predetermined time,
such as an alarm clock. These alerts can also be configured to become active
periodically, making them useful for signaling watch changes (for example, every
four hours) or as a personnel alarm (making sure a crew member is at the helm
every 15 minutes).
When a Time Alert with a Repeat Interval of zero is accepted, it will be Disabled
to prevent further triggering.
When a Time Alert with a Repeat Interval greater than zero is accepted, it will
transition to the Inactive state, waiting for the next time it should trigger.
