VesselManager Application Window

VesselManager - Application Window

General Information

The controls on the front panel are mostly limited to showing the setup/preferences dialog and buttons to start and stop the data acquisition. The data input source and current status are also shown on the front panel. When toggled on the "Audio Feedback" check box causes a beep to be emitted each time a valid input navigation message is processed.

Setting up the workflow for vessel manager is a three step process. Configure the method of data input, specify its format, and setup the vehicle list. The basic data flow for working with real time navigation data is shown in VesselManager Data Flow figure below.
