15 Connections with Other Equipment footnote

  15.1 ECDIS should not degrade the performance of any equipment providing sensor inputs. Nor should the connection of optional equipment degrade the performance of ECDIS below this standard.

  15.2 ECDIS should be connected to the ship’s position fixing system, to the gyro compass and to the speed and distance measuring device. For ships not fitted with a gyro compass, ECDIS should be connected to a marine transmitting heading device.

  15.3 ECDIS may provide a means to supply SENC information to external equipment.
