It explains how to install the Artemis control software onto a Type 3 Marine Processor or other type of computer, and how to use it to configure the Artemis system. For instructions on how to use Artemis, please see the Artemis Mk6 Operators Guide
(Doc No. 94-0440-4). The System Overview on page 6 provides an introduction to the Artemis system. The System Layout section on page 8 describes possible arrangements of the system on board a vessel. Installing the Sensors on page 12 takes you through the installation of the Mobile Station, Fixed Station and Beacon, as appropriate. The Installing the Control PC section on page 27 gives information for mounting a Marine Processor supplied by Guidance Marine and how to upgrade the Artemis control software, if required. The Configuring the Artemis System section on page 30 explains how to configure the system for your vessel. FCC ID: VYMARTEMIS THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION. NOTE: THE GRANTEE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE. SUCH MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USERS AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT. 5 System Overview The Artemis microwave-based position reference system provides accurate positional data to marine DP (dynamic positioning) control systems. It enables automated approach and station keeping relative to a rig or platform, or to another vessel. The standard Artemis system consists of:
Two identical Antenna Units (or Sensors), user-configurable as a Mobile Station and a Fixed Station. The Artemis Control PC, a Windows-based marine specification computer, running the control software. Artemis Client PC(s), optional computers used where more than one installation of the Artemis Dashboard software is required. Hand-held Operating Panel (or Pendant). An alternative configuration - the Beacon system - involves the same components as the standard system except for a Beacon Unit instead of a Fixed Station. A Beacon Unit does not provide an Azimuth measurement. Antenna Units The Mobile Station is mounted on the DP-Equipped vessel, ideally at the top of the main mast. The Fixed Station is installed on a fixed platform if absolute positioning is needed or on a moving platform or structure to provide relative positioning. Hand-held Operating Panel (Pendant) A hand-held unit that can be connected to a station or Beacon unit to read and set system parameters during installation. It can also be used to view positional data once the system is in operation. This is an optional diagnostic aid. Artemis Control Software The following applications run on the Artemis Control PC, usually mounted on the bridge near to the controls of the vessels DP system:
Manager This Windows service running on the Artemis Control PC can be configured to run automatically after the PC powers up. It provides a single point of control for an Artemis sensor through which the other components communicate. Service Interface Used for system installation and maintenance, it allows network communications to be configured and parameters on an Artemis Station to be viewed and set. It displays the state of connected Artemis Dashboard(s) and can be used to take basic control of the station. Dashboard Used to control and monitor normal system operation. Up to five instances of the Dashboard can run simultaneously on the Control PC and Client PCs, but only one of these can exercise control at any given time; the others can only be used to monitor the system. An Antenna Unit (Mobile or Fixed Station) An Operating Panel Artemis Service Interface Artemis Dashboard Explosion-Proof Antenna Unit/Beacon An antenna unit or beacon can be made safe for operation in hazardous zone 2 conditions with the use of a pressurisation unit. This forces clean air into the housing of the antenna unit or beacon to prevent the ingress of explosive or flammable gases that might otherwise be ignited by electrical sparks. Contact Guidance Marine for details. 6 System Overview (Continued) System Operation In order to provide positional data to the vessels DP system, the Artemis system needs to be locked. In this state, the antennae of the Fixed and Mobile Stations are facing each other and automatically tracking by maintaining a continuous microwave link. The distance between the sensors is obtained from the travel time of the microwave signal, measured by means of coded interruptions in the continuous wave. The bearing of the Fixed Station, with respect to the centre line of the vessel, is measured using a precision shaft encoder. The Fixed Station measures the Azimuth and reports it to the Mobile Station. The Azimuth is the horizontal angle between a reference direction and the Mobile Station, with its vertex at the Fixed Station. Beacon Unit Used instead of a standard rotating Fixed Station on a fixed platform for absolute positioning, or on a moving platform or structure for relative positioning. The antenna of a Beacon unit does not rotate, and three types of antenna are available for different situations:
A. Omni directional antenna with 360 beam width B. Semi-omni antenna with waveguide, 100 beam width C. Horn antenna with 66 beam width Different Types of Beacon Antenna Layout of a Standard Artemis System The beam width of an antenna unit (Fixed or Mobile Station) is approximately 2.

Sensor Orientation Where possible the sensor should be mounted on the centre line of the vessel. It is recommended that the centre connector and the rear mounting point be on - or parallel to - the centre line of the vessel (see below). Sensor Clearance To facilitate 360 antenna rotation, a cylindrical space of 1400mm diameter with a vertical depth of 300mm around the centre of the rotating antenna should be free from any obstructions. Sensor on - or parallel to - the vessel centre line Vertical Clearance of 300mm 150mm 150mm Clearance 700mm Radius Vessel centre line All dimensions in mm NOT TO SCALE Clearance is a minimum of 800mm to any obstruction below the sensor. 13 Dimensions of Base Unit View from Above View from Beneath View from Side Dimensions are expressed in mm 14 External Connections to an Artemis Sensor An Artemis sensor can communicate with the Control PC using either Ethernet or RS422. Refer to Re-Configuring the Sensor Communications Type on page 48 if you need to change from one type to the other. 15 Installing a Mobile Station Site Requirements When choosing a location for the Mobile Station:
Avoid objects like masts, poles or even bigger structures in the direct vicinity or in front of the Avoid mounting the antenna unit in a position in which its antenna is in the same horizontal antenna; the Artemis positioning system requires free line of sight between the antennas of the two stations. plane as the ships radar antenna. For permanent installations the ideal mounting position is on top of the vessels main mast. It is advised to fit a small platform directly under the mounting bracket to ease installation and service. The distance between the platform and the mounting bracket should be at least 0.8 m to be able to remove the bottom cover from the antenna unit. For temporary installations other mounting positions can be considered. If the system is used at short ranges, the Mobile Station and the Fixed Station or Beacon should be at roughly the same height. An exception here is a Beacon with a horn antenna. Since the horn antenna is looking down by 30, the Beacon may be in a substantially higher position than a Mobile Station.
!Do not mount the antenna unit too close to the mast. The antenna must be able to turn around freely without bouncing off the mast or other obstacles. harness. Mounting the Mobile Station
!Take measures to prevent falling down from the mast or other heights. Use a safety On a torsion-free stand or bracket. In a position where the antenna has preferably 360 around free line of sight. The antenna unit should be mounted:
The antenna unit can be mounted in a U-shaped bracket with three holes. The U-shape allows the unit to be slid in the bracket, rather than lowering it from above. In this way it takes less effort to install the antenna unit. See General Considerations on page 13 for the dimensions of a U-shaped mounting bracket.
!To avoid damage to the antenna it is strongly recommended to mount the antenna unit in its bracket without the antenna, and mount the antenna afterwards. To mount the antenna unit in the bracket. 1. Slide the antenna unit in the mounting bracket. Note: There is only one position in which the antenna unit fits in the bracket. This is the position where the connectors are facing when standing in front of the U-shaped cut-out of the bracket. 2. Mount the antenna unit with three M8 bolts. Place a washer between the bolts head and the mounting brackets of the unit. Use spring washers to secure the nuts. Preferably use stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts. To Mount the antenna unit:
3. Position the antenna such, that the red mark on the antenna shaft of the antenna unit and the red mark on the flange of the antenna are aligned. 16 Installing a Mobile Station (Continued) 4. Mount the antenna with the six self-retaining M6 hexagon socket-head screws of the antenna, using a 5 mm hexagon key. antenna flange of the antenna unit.
!Tightening the bolts if the antenna has not been properly positioned will damage the Closing the Vent To avoid water from entering the antenna unit, the vent must be closed. This is done by turning the ventilation screw clockwise and tightening it with a 5 mm hexagon key. If the Mobile Station is mounted at the centre line of the vessel, the bow or the stern can be used for alignment. The best alignment will be obtained when the reference object is far away. If the Mobile Station is installed off the vessels centre line, the antenna must be aligned parallel to the centre line. In this case a reference mark must be defined (see below). Alignment of the Mobile antenna if the station is installed off the centre line For the alignment the optional telescope is recommended. It is assumed that the station has been configured as a Mobile Station. To align the Mobile antenna:
1. If available, install the telescope on top of the antenna (see below). Connecting the Antenna Unit See External Connections to an Atemis Sensor on page 15 Aligning the Mobile Antenna The direction of the antenna mounted on the antenna unit is defined by the position of the main shaft of the antenna unit. Directly coupled to this main shaft is a precision shaft encoder which measures the actual position (angle) of the main shaft. The angle measured by the encoder should be related to a reference direction. To compute the vessels heading from the angle of the Mobile antenna (the relative Mobile antenna bearing) and the azimuth as received from the Fixed Station, the Mobile antenna must be aligned with the centre line of the vessel. Mounting the optional telescope on top of the antenna 17 16. Disconnect the operating panel and replace the socket cap. 17. Remove the telescope from the antenna and store it in a safe place. All other settings can be entered from the Artemis Service Interface running on the Control PC. If this PC is not (yet) available, these settings can also be entered from the operating panel. Installing a Mobile Station (Continued) 2. Connect the operating panel to the antenna unit. 3. Switch the power to the Artemis Mobile station on and allow about 60 seconds for the station to start up. 4. Press Menu 1 (Operate) on the operating panel. 5. Turn the antenna roughly to the reference mark by making use of the and keys and the 0 key (to stop the antenna turning) of the operating panel. Note: The rotational speed can be increased by pressing the or key twice in quick succession. This works only if the antenna is already turning. 6. Press Menu 263 on the operating panel; the following display page appears:
7. Press Enter; the < starts blinking. Using the keys, select the value OPEN LOOP and press Enter to confirm. 8. Turn the antenna gently by hand until the telescopes vertical hairline is aligned with the reference mark.
!Do not try to force the antenna by hand if it cannot be turned easily. This may damage the antenna and/or the turning mechanism. The antenna can only be turned by hand if the servo control mode is OPEN LOOP or if the operating mode (Menu 262) is IDL (idle) or STB
(standby). In Configuration mode (Menu 5) the operating mode of the antenna unit is STB
(standby) by default. 9. Press Menu 231 on the operating panel; the following display page appears:
10. Press Enter; the cursor starts blinking. 11. Enter the bearing reference:
0 if the antenna is aimed at the bow or at a reference mark near the bow of the vessel;
180 if the antenna is aimed at the stern or at a reference mark near the stern of the vessel. 12. Press Enter; the bearing reference has now been set. 13. Press Menu 263 (Servo Control). 14. Press Enter; the < starts blinking. Using the keys, select the value NORMAL for the servo control mode and press Enter to confirm. 15. Press Menu; the Main Menu Mobile appears. 18 Installing a Fixed Station Site Requirements When choosing a location for the Fixed Station:
Avoid objects like poles or structures in the direct vicinity or in front of the antenna. Artemis Avoid a relatively large land path in front of the Fixed Station. requires line of sight between the antenna of the Fixed Station and the antenna of the Mobile Station. Do not mount the antenna unit too close to any obstacles. The antenna must preferably be able to turn around freely without striking obstacles, which may damage the antenna. However, if the antenna cannot turn 360 around but can make a large enough sector to cover the work area, physical limits can be set to avoid contact with obstacles. These limits can be set with the operating panel. See Setting Station Parameters with the Operating Panel on page 21 for details.
!The standard Artemis MK6 Fixed Station may not be installed in an explosion hazardous environment. For operation in a zone 2 hazardous environment, an optional pressurisation unit is available. Influence of Antenna Heights When choosing the height at which the Fixed Station is installed, the following aspects have to be considered:
The influence of the curvature of the earth when operating the system at long ranges. This is called the radio horizon. This influence tends not to be important for the Artemis Mk6 system because the maximum range of the system is generally less than the radio horizon, even with low antenna positions. Reflection of the microwaves off the surface of the water may cause interference with the direct signal. This can cause weakening or extinguishing of the signal. The positions at which this phenomenon is experienced are generally referred to as range holes, dip zones or interference zones The position and width of these interference zones are dependent on:
The antenna heights. The wavelength of the transmitted signal. The strength of the interference depends on the distance between the transmitting and receiving antenna and the nature of the water surface. A smooth surface reflects the signal better than a choppy surface. The signal at the receiving antenna in the diagram below is extinguished when D1 + D2 D = n , where:
Reflection of microwaves against the water surface D1 + D2 = indirect path length. D = direct path length. n = 1, 2, 3, ..
= wavelength. Computer calculations show that the major interference zones are out of range of the Artemis system. They fall at a distance over 5 kilometres. Nevertheless, a general rule is that lower Fixed and Mobile Station positions are in favour, because:
The interference zones fall closer and hence are easier to overcome because the signal The interference zones are smaller than for higher antenna positions. strength is still relatively high. 19 Installing a Fixed Station (Continued) Operation of more systems in the same area Operation of more than one system in the same area is possible in the following situations:
Vessels have their own work sector and are not crossing each other. See below. Vessels work in the same direction, but with different frequency pairs. See right. In the diagram below, the beam sectors do not come within 10 of each other and no interference will occur. Two vessels using Artemis systems in different sectors In the diagram to the right, the best combination of frequency pairs is pair 0 for system 1 and pair 1 for system 2, while these pairs give the largest difference between the frequencies of the Mobile Stations. To avoid influencing each other, the two Fixed Stations should be located at least two metres from each other in the vertical plane and no more than six metres apart in the horizontal plane. The best position for two Fixed Stations working in the same direction is above each other with at least two metres difference in height.

5. Press Enter; the cursor (<) starts blinking. 6. Press the or key until it reads FIX. 7. Press Enter to acknowledge. 13. Press Enter; the cursor (<) starts blinking. 14. Using the numerical keys 0-9, enter the desired address code (0-63), i.e. the same address code the Mobile Station is set for and press Enter to confirm. 15. Press Next; the following page appears:
Note: If the antenna can rotate by 360, this step can be skipped by pressing Next. 21 Installing a Fixed Station (Continued) 16. Slowly and gently turn the antenna by hand counter clockwise to the point beyond which the antenna should not come, the so-called (physical) left end limit. Press Enter to set the left end limit, or press Next if no left end limit is to be set; the following page appears:
21. Using the key and the 0 key to stop the antenna, turn the antenna to its right auto search scan limit. Note: The right auto search scan limit cannot lie beyond the configured right end limit. The antenna stops when the right end limit has been reached. 22. Press Enter to set the right auto search scan limit; the following page appears:
!Do not force the antenna if it cannot be turned easily. This may damage the antenna and/
or the antenna turning mechanism. The antenna can only be turned by hand if the servo control mode is OPEN LOOP or if the operating mode (Menu 262) is IDL (idle) or STB (standby). In Configuration mode (Menu 5) the operating mode of the antenna unit is STB (standby) by default. Set the operating mode to STB manually (Menu 262) if the antenna cannot be turned by hand. Make sure to set the operating mode back to OPE (operate) afterwards. 17. Slowly and gently turn the antenna clockwise by hand to the point beyond which the antenna should not travel, the so-called (physical) right end limit. Note: If the antenna can rotate 360 round, this step can be skipped by pressing Next. 18. Press Enter to set the right end limit, or press Next if no right end limit is to be set; the following page appears:
23. Press Next if no reference azimuth needs to be entered; the page at step 29 appears and continue from there. Otherwise:
24. If there is a suitable reference object of which the bearing with respect to north is known, and if the optional telescope is available, mount the telescope on the antenna. Note: For absolute positioning it is important that the antenna unit is levelled, that an accurate reference azimuth is entered and that the exact position of the Fixed Station is known. If the system is used for dynamic positioning, then relative positioning is generally all that is required. If use is made of a reference object: the further away this reference object is, the more accurate the referencing will be. The reference object should, however, still be visible with the telescope. If grid coordinates of the reference object and the position at which the Fixed Station is installed are known, then the reference azimuth can easily be calculated (see below). The reference azimuth is calculated as follows:
19. Using the key and the 0 key to stop the antenna, turn the antenna to the left auto search scan limit of the antenna. 20. Press Enter to set the left auto search scan limit; the following page appears:
Note: The left auto search scan limit cannot lie beyond the confiured left end limit. The antenna stops when the left end limit has been reached. Calculating the reference azimuth from grid coordinates 22 Installing a Fixed Station (Continued) 25. Slowly and gently turn the antenna by hand towards the reference object. 26. Look through the telescope and turn the antenna gently by hand until the telescopes vertical hairline is aligned with the reference object. 27. Press Enter; the following page appears:
28. Key-in the reference azimuth and press Enter; the reference azimuth has now been set. Note: When pressing Enter the display may show a slightly different value for the last digit entered. This is caused by the fact that the resolution of the shaft encoder is 0.003 and so less than 0.001. 29. Press Next; the following page appears:
30. Press Enter; the cursor(<) starts blinking. 31. Press the key if the AUTO SEARCH mode is to be switched on; the word OFF changes to ON, and then press Enter to confirm. If AUTO SEARCH is to remain OFF, press the key until it reads OFF and press Enter. 32. Press the key to go to the parameter ANTI-ICING. ANTI-ICING is OFF by default. 33.

If the auto search function was switched on, the antenna will start scanning between the left and right auto search scan limits until the station picks up signal from a Mobile Station set for the same frequency pair and the same selective address code. The antenna will lock onto the antenna of the Mobile Station and azimuth and distance will be available at the Mobile Station. If the parameter CONF.PRTCTED was set to OFF, Fixed Station parameters can be modified remotely fron the Control PC connected to the mobile station, using the Artemis Service Interface. If no other Fixed Station parameters need to be set or changed using the operating panel, the operating panel may now be disconnected.
!Screw the cap of the operating panel socket back on after disconnecting the operating panel. 23 Installing a Beacon Site requirements When choosing a location for the Beacon:
The foreground of the beacon must be free from obstacles like masts and poles. Avoid a relatively large land path in front of the beacon. The height of the beacon must preferably be the same as the height of the Mobile Station onboard the vessel. If the beacon is installed at a significantly higher position, the use of a beacon horn antenna type ATH-010B is recommended. To mount the antenna on the beacon:
1. Position the antenna such, that the red mark on the beacon and the red mark on the mounting flange of the beacon antenna are aligned. 2. Mount the antenna with the four self-retaining M6 hexagon socket-head screws of the antenna, using a 5 mm hexagon key.
!Tightening the bolts if the antenna has not been properly positioned will damage the antenna flange of the beacon. a zone 2 hazardous environment, an optional pressurisation unit is available.
!The beacon may not be installed in an explosion hazardous environment. For operation in Mounting the Beacon
!Take measures to prevent falling down from the mast or other heights. Use a safety On a rigid stand or bracket. Ideally in a position where the antenna has a 360 clear line of sight if an omni-directional antenna is fitted. For the other antenna types a sector of approx. 140 clear line of sight, which should include the work area, is adequate. The beacon should be mounted:
harness. The beacon can be mounted in a U-shaped bracket with three holes. See General Considerations on page 13 for the required dimensions. The U-shape allows the beacon to be slid in the bracket, rather than lowering it from above. In this way it takes less effort to install the beacon. To mount the beacon in the bracket:
1. Slide the beacon in the mounting bracket. Note: There is only one position in which the beacon fits in the bracket. This is the position where the connectors are facing when standing in front of the U-shaped cut-out of the bracket. 2. Secure the beacon with three M8 bolts. Place a washer between the bolts head and the mounting brackets of the unit. Use spring washers to secure the nuts. Preferably use stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts.

The Dashboard may be installed onto multiple computers. 29 Configuring the Artemis System This section explains how to use the Service Interface program to set up the Artemis system. It contains the following pages:
Using the Artemis Service Interface (page 31) Operational Overview (page 32) Adding and Selecting a Remote Station (page 33) Changing the Network Configuration (page 34) Configuring the DP Output (page 35) Configuring System Parameters (page 36) Information Tabs (page 37) The Service Interface is usually connected to the mobile station of an Artemis system, but it can also be connected to a fixed station or beacon. We will therefore use the term local station to refer to the antenna unit to which the Service Interface is connected and Remote Station to refer to the other unit, without implying which is mobile and which is fixed. 30 Using the Artemis Service Interface The Service Interface is a tool for configuring the Artemis system. To open the Service Interface 1. Ensure that the Antenna Unit is powered on and connected to the control computer. 2. Double-click on the Service Interface icon:
(Alternatively, run from the Start menu:
Start > All Programs > Guidance Marine Ltd > Artemis > Artemis Service Interface) Screen Layout of the ASI The upper part of the ASI window contains fields relating to communications, as follows:
Artemis Manager - The state of the connection between the ASI and the Artemis Manager
(Connected or Not Connected). Take Command / Relinquish Command - This button allows the user to toggle the command mode of the ASI between In Command and Monitoring. In Command Indicator - This red block symbol is visible when the ASI is In Command mode. Sensor - The state of the connection between the Artemis Manager and the sensor (Connected, Not Connected or Unknown). Validator - Shows whether an Artemis Validator unit is connected to the Manager (Connected or Not Connected). The remainder of the CSI screen is occupied by one of several tab areas. 31 Operational Overview The Navigation Tab The Navigation tab gives an overview of the operational state of the system: the direction in which the local unit is transmitting, whether it is locked to a Remote Station, and - if so the detected position and signal level. It also shows the configured scan limits and end limits of the local station. If the system is not locked, it allows the user to search for the Remote Station either manually or automatically. The Navigation tab contains the following fields and controls:
Azimuth - The horizontal angle of the Remote Station, relative to North or another reference direction. Bearing - The horizontal angle of the Remote Station relative to the local station. Heading - The direction of the vessel relative to the reference direction used to define Azimuth. Range - The distance between the local and Remote Stations. Signal Level - The strength of the signal received from the Remote Station. Local Station Model The version of the local Antenna Unit (e.g. Mk 6). Station Type Whether the local station is Mobile or Fixed. Operating Mode The current state of the local sensor (Operating, Standby or Idle). Scan Limit Left and Scan Limit Right - These define the horizontal sector in which the local unit normally operates, and through which the antenna rotates when in Auto-Search mode (see below). The Scan Left Limit sets the anti-clockwise edge of this sector and the Scan Right Limit sets the clockwise edge, as represented by the dark blue area on the Birds Eye View. Rotate Sensor - Click on the left-arrowhead to move the antenna in an anti-clockwise direction
(repeat as necessary). Click on the right-arrowhead to move clockwise. Enable Auto-Search - After clicking this button, the antenna rotates to and fro between the configured scan limits until it locks onto the Remote Station, or until Disable Auto-Search is clicked. Frequency Pair - The fixed and mobile stations each transmit at a given frequency within the 9200-9300 MHz band. These frequencies are selected as a pair and if two Artemis systems are to be used in close proximity they should be allocated different frequency pairs, in order to avoid interference. Tx Address Code - The address code being transmitted by the local station (0-63). Rx Address Code - The address code received from the Remote Station (0-63). Note also that a grey area on the Birds Eye View represents a sector into which the antenna cannot rotate due to a physical obstruction. This is configured by means of the parameters End Limit Left and End Limit Right. 32 Adding and Selecting a Remote Station The Service Interface is used to maintain a list of Remote Stations which the local station may encounter.

In practice the operating panel is only connected to a station or beacon after installation, to set parameters which are easiest set from close to the station or beacon. The operating panel may also be used during service to check or alter the settings of Mobile and Fixed Stations and Beacons. For a Mobile Station the operating panel is only useful for the alignment of the Mobile antenna with the centreline of the vessel. All other settings are more conveniently done using the Artemis Service Interface running on the Control PC. Operator interaction between the keyboard and the display of the operating panel is via a menu structure. The menu structure is basically the same for the Fixed Station, Mobile Station and Beacon. Operating panel 45 Using the Operating Panel (Continued) Menu structure At the top of the menu structure is the MAIN MENU. For a station configured as a Mobile Station it is called MAIN MENU MOB, for a station configured as Fixed Station MAIN MENU FIX, and for a Beacon it is called MAIN MENU BCN. From the main menu a selection can be made from a maximum of six categories by keying-in the number adjacent to the category. The following display page types are distinguished:
Menu pages Data pages Modify pages Instruction pages Menu pages Menu pages display a number of categories the operator can choose from by keying-in the number shown adjacent to the categories. Apart from the Main Menu pages already referred to, there are several other menu pages. An example of such a menu page is given below. Data pages Data pages show Artemis data and /or parameters which cannot be changed, at least not through these pages. A particular category may contain more than one data page. For example: the category OPERATE in the Fixed Station menu structure contains three different data display pages. The first of these pages is shown below. Subsequent pages are selected by pressing the Next key. Example of data page Modify pages Modify pages enable the operator to read and/or change the parameters shown on these pages. Some pages have a restricted number of values, from which a choice is made by pressing the and key until the required value is showing. Other parameters require a numerical value to be entered. Example of a menu page In this example there is a choice of five categories. Pressing 1 selects the instruction page for the setting of the antenna (azimuth) reference. Pressing 2 selects the instruction page to set the auto search left and right scan limits by turning the antenna to these limits. Pressing 3 selects the modify page for the setting of the numerical values of the auto search left and right scan limits. Pressing 4 selects the instruction page to set the physical left and right limits of the antenna. Pressing 5 selects the modify page for entering an azimuth value the antenna should turn to (set point). Example of a modify page (parameter value selection) Example of a modify page (numerical input) 46 Using the Operating Panel (Continued) Instruction pages Instruction pages instruct the operator to carry out a particular action. The Enter key is pressed to acknowledge that the action has been carried out. Example of an instruction page Operating panel keys The operating panel has the following keys:
Numerical keys 0-9. Function keys Del, Next, Menu, On/Off and Enter. Arrow up ( ) and arrow down ( ) key. Arrow left and minus key (-) and arrow right and decimal point (.) key. The numerical 0 key has two functions:
To enter the numerical value 0. To stop the antenna from turning after operating the arrow left (-) or arrow right (.) key. The Del key has three functions:
To step back to a higher level in the menu structure. To delete a character or a number of characters when in a modify page (back space Escape function. function). The Next key is used to step through the different pages of categories which contain more than one data or modify page. These pages have >N displayed in the bottom right hand corner to indicate that more pages in the same category exist. An exception here is the Operate display pages which show the position data. In Instruction pages the last instruction page also shows >N in the bottom right hand corner. In this case pressing Next causes a return to the (sub) menu page above. Pressing the Menu key makes the operating panel display the stations or beacons Main Menu. It can be pressed at any moment and acts as an escape key. The On/Off key is not functioning and so does not act as an on/off switch. The Enter key is used to:
Enable new data to be entered or to enable selection of a value. To accept new data entered. The Arrow up ( ) key is used to:
Move the cursor < up if there are more parameters that can be chosen from. Step through possible parameter values in a modify page. The Arrow down ( ) key is used to:
Move the cursor < down if there are more parameters that can be chosen from. Step through possible parameter values in a modify page. Note: Pressing twice in quick succession when the antenna is turning makes the antenna turn The Arrow left (-) key has the following functions:

It enables automated approach and station keeping relative to a rig or platform, or to another vessel. The standard Artemis system consists of:
Two identical Antenna Units (or Sensors), user-configurable as a Mobile Station and a Fixed Station. The Artemis Control PC, a Windows-based marine specification computer, running the control software. Artemis Client PC(s), optional computers used where more than one installation of the Artemis Dashboard software is required. Hand-held Operating Panel (or Pendant). An alternative configuration - the Beacon system - involves the same components as the standard system except for a Beacon Unit instead of a Fixed Station. A Beacon Unit does not provide an Azimuth measurement. Artemis Control Software The following applications run on the Artemis Control PC, usually mounted on the bridge near to the controls of the vessels DP system:
Manager This Windows service running on the Artemis Control PC can be configured to run automatically after the PC powers up. It provides a single point of control for an Artemis sensor through which the other components communicate. Service Interface Used for system installation and maintenance, it allows network communications to be configured and parameters on an Artemis Station to be viewed and set. It displays the state of connected Artemis Dashboard(s) and can be used to take basic control of the station. Dashboard Used to control and monitor normal system operation. Up to five instances of the Dashboard can run simultaneously on the Control PC and Client PCs, but only one of these can exercise control at any given time; the others can only be used to monitor the system. Antenna Units The Mobile Station is mounted on the DP-Equipped vessel, ideally at the top of the main mast. The Fixed Station is installed on a fixed platform if absolute positioning is needed or on a moving platform or structure to provide relative positioning. Hand-held Operating Panel (Pendant) A hand-held unit that can be connected to a station or Beacon unit to read and set system parameters during installation. It can also be used to view positional data once the system is in operation. This is an optional diagnostic aid. An Antenna Unit (Mobile or Fixed Station) An Operating Panel Artemis Service Interface Artemis Dashboard Explosion-Proof Antenna Unit/Beacon An antenna unit or beacon can be made safe for operation in hazardous zone 2 conditions with the use of a pressurisation unit. This forces clean air into the housing of the antenna unit or beacon to prevent the ingress of explosive or flammable gases that might otherwise be ignited by electrical sparks. Contact Guidance Marine for details. l 6 System Overview (Continued) System Operation In order to provide positional data to the vessels DP system, the Artemis system needs to be locked. In this state, the antennae of the Fixed and Mobile Stations are facing each other and automatically tracking by maintaining a continuous microwave link. The distance between the sensors is obtained from the travel time of the microwave signal, measured by means of coded interruptions in the continuous wave. The bearing of the Fixed Station, with respect to the centre line of the vessel, is measured using a precision shaft encoder. The Fixed Station measures the Azimuth and reports it to the Mobile Station. The Azimuth is the horizontal angle between a reference direction and the Mobile Station, with its vertex at the Fixed Station. Beacon Unit Used instead of a standard rotating Fixed Station on a fixed platform for absolute positioning, or on a moving platform or structure for relative positioning. The antenna of a Beacon unit does not rotate, and three types of antenna are available for different situations:
A. Omni directional antenna with 360 beam width B. Semi-omni antenna with waveguide, 100 beam width C. Horn antenna with 66 beam width Different Types of Beacon Antenna Layout of a Standard Artemis System The beam width of an antenna unit (Fixed or Mobile Station) is approximately 2. Layout of an Artemis Beacon System l 7 Getting Started This section covers the basics of using the Artemis system. It contains the following pages:
Start Up and Shut Down section on page 9 Screen Contents section on page 10 Display Options section on page 16 l 8 Start Up and Shut Down Start Up To Start Artemis Dashboard 1. Ensure that the local station is powered on. 2. Double-click on the Artemis Dashboard icon.
(Or run the Artemis Dashboard application from:
Start > All Programs > Guidance Marine Ltd > Artemis > Artemis Dashboard). 3. The Dashboard display screen will appear. If the sensor is currently suspended, the main part of the screen will be greyed out. Click on the Resume button in the side bar in order for the sensor to begin transmitting and for the results to be displayed on the screen. If the sensor was already transmitting, any remote station to which it is locked will be displayed straight away. Shut Down To Disconnect, Exit or Suspend
(Click on the Guidance button in the lower left corner of the screen. This reveals the Guidance Home Menu, which contains different sets of buttons depending whether the Dashboard is in command, and whether it is tracking a remote station. Buttons are explained below. computer. The local station is unaffected and if tracking is in progress, it will continue. Disconnect - Ceases communications between the local station and the Dashboard Exit - Closes the Dashboard without affecting the sensor. Suspend Only available when the Dashboard is in command and the local station is not tracking a remote station. Places the local station into a sleep mode in which it ceases to transmit. The Dashboard remains active and connected to the sensor ready for operations. This mode is suitable for use when travelling between locations. Suspend and Exit Same as Suspend, except that it closes the Dashboard program. Side Bar Dashboard screen with local station suspended Dashboard screen with local station scanning Guidance Home Menu in different contexts l 9 Screen Contents The Artemis Dashboard screen is split into three distinct sections, these are:
(BEV) (see page 11) Main Screen and Birds Eye View Side Bar (see page 13) Menu Pane (see page 15) Main Screen and Birds Eye View Dashboard Side Bar Menu Pane l 10 Screen Contents (Continued) Main Screen and Bird's Eye View (BEV) The circular BEV depicts the operational area of the Artemis system from above. The red dot at the centre represents the local Antenna Unit mounted on its vessel and the arc through which it can rotate corresponds to the combined blue areas. A grey exclusion zone can be configured
(using the End Limit parameters) if there is a physical obstruction that prevents the antenna from turning through 360. The current direction and movement of the radar beam is indicated by the slim, light blue triangle. If the local station is locked onto a remote station, this is represented by a yellow dot. If the remote station is configured as Floating rather than Fixed, the outline of its vessel is also shown (with its bow aligned to 0 azimuth). Vessel Outlines Where a vessel outline is shown, its direction is significant, but its size, exact shape and the position of the Artemis station within it are all arbitrary and cannot be altered. Scan Limits If the local station is not locked onto a remote station, and Auto Search is enabled, the beam moves to and fro across the configured scan sector. The size of this sector (the dark blue area) can be adjusted (see Adjusting the Scan Sector on page 21). Radial Markers These form an angular scale in degrees, clockwise around the circumference of the BEV. Zero is defined by the bow of the local vessel. l 11 Screen Contents (Continued) System Status This consists of two fields:
Primary The primary part of the status display is in the upper-right corner of the Main Pane. It indicates the current status of the system:
System Running Normally System Suspended System Disconnected Local Connection Operational Communications ERROR Secondary The secondary status display is located in the lower right corner of the Main Pane and is normally hidden. It displays a flashing message for a number of seconds in order to confirm an action taken by the user (see below). It can also display a persistent, static message if there is a communications problem. l 12 Screen Contents (Continued) Side Bar The Side Bar, the black pane to the left of the BEV, contains control and display components in addition to the coordinates pane. After pressing the Guidance button:
l 13 Screen Contents (Continued) Hotkey Buttons Selecting the Hotkeys tab on the right-hand side of the Bird's Eye View (BEV) activates the Dashboard Hotkeys menu. The following keys - and the corresponding buttons on the Dashboard Hotkeys menu - act as shortcuts to application functions. Help Menu. Rotates the vessel clockwise. Rotates the vessel counter-clockwise. Toggles between the default BEV Layout Mode and Coordinates Layout Mode. Toggles between enlarged and standard-sized representation of the remote station. Toggles between the day view and night view. Toggles between the About System pane and the full BEV or Coordinates display. Takes a snapshot of the screen and stores the image in the file desktop.bmp, at the configured location for data logging (defined by the LogPath parameter in the config.ini file, in the Artemis Dashboard installation folder). Enables or Disables the On Screen Keyboard function.

Hotkeys Tab l 14 Screen Contents (Continued) Menu Pane The menu pane, located across the bottom of the Dashboard screen, is not always visible. It appears when the Auto Search or Advanced buttons at the foot of the side bar are pressed, which causes the main screen to contract upwards. Clicking the same button for a second time causes the menu pane to disappear and the main screen to be restored to full size. l 15 Display Options Display View To provide ample visibility during daytime operation and to limit glare during night shifts, the Artemis Dashboard offers two display modes: Day View and Night View. In either mode the brightness can be further adjusted by the Screen Brightness control. To Change the Day/Night View and Adjust Brightness:
1. If the Guidance Home Menu is open in the Side Bar, close it by clicking on the Guidance button. 2. Navigate to Advanced > Display Options > Display Settings. 3. Click on the Day View or Night View symbol. 4. Click on the left side of the Screen Brightness control to dim the screen and on the right to make it brighter. 5. Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut F6 or the Day/Night Mode button in the Dashboard Hotkeys menu to switch between Day View and Night View. Screen Layout Mode By default, the main area of the Dashboard screen contains the Birds Eye View (BEV) and if the local and remote stations are locked, the positional coordinates are displayed in the upper part of the side bar. However, it is possible to swap these around so that the main area shows the coordinates in extra-large text and the side bar contains a miniature BEV. To Select the Screen Layout Mode:
1. Navigate to Advanced > Display Options > Screen Layout. 2. Select BEV or Coordinates. OR Click on the upper part of the side bar to toggle between the two layout modes. Example Night View Screen Layout Mode = BEV Example Day View Hotkey Buttons Screen Layout Mode = Coordinates l 16 Display Options (Continued) Vessel Orientation The Artemis Dashboard supports four different arrangements of the Birds Eye View so that the operator can choose the one which best represents his surroundings. For instance, if the operator is facing forward when using the Dashboard, he would want the bow of the vessel in the BEV to point upwards, so that a remote station located on the starboard side of the vessel is shown on the right-hand side of the BEV. To set Vessel Orientation:
1. Click on Advanced > Display Options > Screen Layout. 2. Click on the vessel outline that points in the required direction. Alternatively, rotate the vessel clockwise by clicking F2 or the Rotate Vessel Clockwise hotkey. Rotate anti-clockwise by clicking F3 or the Rotate Vessel Anti-Clockwise hotkey. Hotkey Buttons l 17 Basic Operation In order for the Artemis system to output positional data to a vessels DP system, the local station needs to be tracking a remote station. This section explains how to achieve this. It contains the following pages:
Tracking Overview section on page 19 Selecting a Remote Station section on page 20 Adjusting the Scan Sector section on page 21 Tracking Information Quality section on page 22 DP Feeds section on page 23 l 18 Tracking Overview When an Artemis-equipped vessel moves within operating range of a remote station, the two stations will lock on to each other if the following conditions are met:
The correct remote station has been selected within the vessels Artemis Control Software
(see Selecting a Remote Station on page 20). The radar beams from both stations are illuminating the other. In order to fulfil the second condition, the scan sectors of each station should be set up to include the direction in which the other is located. In the case of a fixed station mounted on a rig or on land, it should already be configured to search in the directions from which vessels normally approach. For the mobile station on board a vessel, it may be necessary to widen the scan sector in order to find the fixed station (see Adjusting the Scan Sector on page 21). In order to locate the remote station within the scan sector, the beam direction can be altered either manually or automatically:
Rotate the beam manually using the rocker switch on the side bar. Click the left-hand side of the switch to move the beam in a counter-clockwise direction by a small amount. Similarly, click the right-hand side to move in a clockwise direction. Click repeatedly or hold the switch down to move further. Click the Enable button embedded within the Auto Search button in order to search automatically. This causes the beam to sweep from side to side across the scan sector until it locks onto the remote station, or until Auto Search is disabled. When the stations are locked, the remote station is represented on the BEV by a yellow dot, the size of which varies with the strength of the received signal. If the remote station has a structure type of Floating, an outline of its vessel is shown (with its bow aligned to 0 azimuth). Once a lock has been achieved, DP feed messages are output via the configured DP channel(s). The position of the remote station and its signal strength are displayed at the top of the side bar (or on the main screen if Coordinates Layout Mode has been selected).
(see Tracking Information Quality on page 22). Leaving Auto Search enabled on the local station causes the beam to search for the remote station if it is lost (e.g. due to another vessel passing across the line of sight). If the local vessel is station keeping, or is moving along a trajectory such that the bearing of the remote station remains about the same, you may wish to narrow the scan sector around the remote station. The advantage of this is to reduce the time required to find the remote station again after losing it. l 19 Selecting a Remote Station Although the local Artemis station tracks only one remote station at a time, it can be configured with a list of multiple prospective stations (see Artemis Mk6 Installers Guide). The side bar of the Dashboard screen displays the description of the currently selected remote station, its address code and the frequency pair used when the local station communicates with it. To Select a Different Remote Station:
1. Ensure that the Dashboard is In Command (if not, click on the Guidance button then Take Command). 2. Click on the Auto Search button on the side bar. This causes the Remote Stations menu pane to open. The description of the currently selected remote station has a green background. 3. Select a different remote station by clicking on its description in the list. The details of the selected remote station are displayed in the right-hand side of the pane. 4. Click on Select Remote Station. The description of the newly selected remote station now has a green background. l 20 Adjusting the Scan Sector The Dashboard operator can alter the size of the scan sector, the dark blue area across which the antenna sweeps when auto-searching. A wider scan sector may be required in order to find a remote station. Once the stations are locked and if its bearing is not expected to change much, a narrower scan sector may be required in order to quickly re-establish the lock should it be interrupted. To Adjust the Scan Sector:
1. Ensure that the Dashboard is In Command mode (if not, click on the Guidance button then Take Command). In Command mode there are handles along each radial edge of the scan sector. 2. Click one of the scan sector handles on the BEV and, holding down the left mouse button, drag to the required position. Alternatively on a touchscreen touch and drag. As the handle is moved, its current position (in degrees clockwise from the vessel bow) is displayed in blue numerals outside the perimeter of the circle. This will cause the Apply and Cancel buttons to appear at the foot of the side bar. 3. If required, drag the second handle in the same way. 4. Click on the Apply (tick) button to confirm. Note that the scan sector cannot be narrower than 5, nor can it extend into the dark grey area of the BEV (defined by the End Limits - see Artemis Mk6 Installers Guide). l 21 Tracking Information Quality When the system is locked, the coordinates of the remote station and the strength of the signal received from it are displayed at the top of the side bar (or on the main screen if Coordinates Layout Mode has been selected). This data is colour coded:
The colours denote signal strength:
Red:
-80dB to -72dB Amber: -71dB to -65dB Green: -64dB to 0dB l 22 DP Feeds Up to four ports of the Artemis Control PC can be configured as DP Feed channels, in order to output positional data to the vessels DP system (see Artemis Mk6 Installers Guide). The state of each channel, its data format and the most recent data output can be viewed on the Dashboard. To View DP Feed Details:
1. Click on the Advanced button on the side bar. 2. Click on the DP Feeds button on the menu pane. l 23 Multi-Dashboard Artemis Systems An Artemis system can include multiple PCs, each running the Dashboard program. At any given time all of the Dashboards may be in Monitoring mode, or else one Dashboard and only one may be in command mode. This section explains the difference between the two modes and how to switch between them. It contains the following pages:
Artemis Dashboard In Command Mode section on page 25 Artemis Dashboard - Monitoring Mode section on page 26 l 24 Artemis Dashboard In Command Mode It is necessary to run a Dashboard in command mode in order to use its system control functions (e.g. adjusting the scan sector or activating a different remote station). Any changes made in these areas will be evident on the screens of the monitoring Dashboards. On the other hand, display options such as screen brightness or vessel orientation can be set differently on each individual Dashboard, whether it is in command or monitoring. When the Dashboard in command is used to suspend the local station, a message will appear on the screens of the monitoring Dashboards indicating that the system is suspended. In this state, clicking the Resume button on any Dashboard will automatically put it in command mode. If no Dashboard within the system is in command, the next Dashboard to be opened will default to In Command mode. Subsequently, new Dashboards will default to Monitoring mode. To switch a Dashboard from Monitoring mode to In Command:
1. Click the Guidance button at the foot of the side bar. 2. Click the Take Command button. If there was already another Dashboard in command mode, it will automatically switch to Monitoring mode when this Dashboard takes command. A Dashboard cannot directly take command away from a Service Interface application. If a Service Interface is currently in command, the Dashboards Take Command button will be disabled and dark grey in appearance. In order to enable it, click on the Relinquish Command button on the Service Interface. Vessel Orientation l 25 Artemis Dashboard - Monitoring Mode When the Dashboard is running in Monitoring mode the controls relating to the Dashboard itself will be active, but those relating to other parts of the system will be disabled. Monitoring Dashboards display the same positional information as the Dashboard in command, but cannot search for a remote station, activate a different one or suspend the local station. To switch a Dashboard from In Command mode to Monitoring:
1. Click the Guidance button at the foot of the side bar. 2. Click the Relinquish Command button. l 26 Support Information This section contains the following pages:

Click on the necessary keys on the on-screen keyboard using your mouse or by tapping the touch screen. Hotkey Buttons l 31 Working with Alarms During operation, the Artemis system produces an audit trail of event messages. These range in increasing order of severity from: Information, Warning, and Error to Fatal. As these alarms are raised, the Dashboard lists them within the Alarms pane. Click on any alarm to display details about it in the right-hand section of the Alarm pane:
Filtering Alarms A filter is available to suppress the display of particular alarm types. By default, the filter is activated and causes information messages to be hidden. Click on the Alarm Filter button to toggle between activated Click on the Filter Selection button to choose which types of alarm are to be filtered out:
and de-activated The severity and current state of an alarm are reflected in its colour and shape:
Informationgrey symbols Warningorange symbols Errorred symbols Fatalred symbols The arrowhead symbol indicates that an alarm condition is persisting; an alarm in this state will show a Start time but not a Stop time. The square symbol means that the alarm condition no longer exists, therefore the alarm will show both Start and Stop times. The pause symbol indicates an instantaneous alarm. In this case, the Start and Stop times are identical. When an Error or Fatal alarm is raised, the Alarms pane is opened automatically and its Side Bar button is shaded red as in the example above. If the pane is closed and re-
opened, the Side Bar button returns to its normal light grey shading. When a Fatal alarm occurs, communications with the sensor are disabled. In order to return to normal operation, ensure that the fault condition has been cleared, close the Dashboard and re-open. If communications are not re-established, power the sensor off, wait for 20 seconds then power back on. A tick means that alarms of the corresponding severity are always viewable in the alarms list. No tick means that alarms of that severity are hidden when the filter is activated. l 32 Working with Alarms (Continued) Using the Current and Historic Alarms Tabs There are two tabs on the Alarms pane, each containing a list of alarms:
The Current Alarms tab displays new alarms (raised since the Dashboard was last The Historic Alarms tab displays alarms that have been cleared from the Current opened). Alarms tab. Current alarms are automatically transferred when the Dashboard is closed or when the maximum number of Current Alarms has been reached. Items on the Current Alarms tab cannot be deleted, they may only be moved to the Historic Alarms tab. Only items on the Historic Alarms tab can be permanently deleted. To accept alarms on the Current Alarms Tab 1. Click on Advanced > Alarms and ensure that the Current Alarms tab is in focus. 2. Select the alarms that you wish to move into the Historic list:
To accept one alarmClick on the alarm and click on the To accept all alarmsClick on the button. button. 3. Click Apply to move these alarm(s) onto the Historic Alarms tab.
!This will not apply to alarms that have been hidden by the filter mechanism. To clear alarms on the Historic Alarms tab 1. Click on Advanced > Alarms and ensure that the Historic Alarms tab is in focus. 2. Select the alarms to delete:
To delete one alarm click on the alarm entry and then on the To delete all alarms click on the X! button. button. 3. Click Apply to confirm.
