Source of position
Use Figure below to find source of position. Kalman filter uses all position sensors, which have either primary or
secondary, as input for its calculation. GPS in differential operation mode and SYLEDIS position sensors (high
precision position sensors) are considered better than other position sensors.

Position used by the System is shown in right hand upper corner of ECDIS display (the example above shows
DGPS). Following alternatives are available:
· NO POSIT, in red colour, if even no dead reckoning sensors are selected and valid.
· DEAD REC, in red colour, if position source is dead reckoning
· DGPS, GPS, LORAN, DECCA or SYLEDIS if position source is a receiver operating in indicated mode
· LOST DGPS, in red colour, if the user selection includes a DGPS device, which doesn't operate in differential
mode.
· FIL LOST DGPS, in red colour, if the Kalman filter is in use and it includes a DGPS device, which doesn't
operate in differential mode.
· REFTARG, if position source is tracked ARPA targets controlled by the system
· FILTER HIGH, if position source is the Kalman filter with high precision position sensor.
· FILTER, if position source is the Kalman filter without high precision position sensors
· BAD FILTER, in red colour, if position source is the Kalman filter and the filter has excluded at least one of
the selected sensors because of bad behaviour
If the system changes the source of position based on lost sensor data or change of differential mode of a DGPS
sensor, then the system generates immediately alarm "2009 Position source change". If the Kalman filter is used
then the system generates after a time out period of 90 sec alarm "2010 Filter: Pos source change".
