Configuration The simulator consists of the Instructor Workplace (IWP) software and one or several Student WorkPlaces (WPS). Functional features of software Instructor WorkPlace (IWP) manages the process of training the student. The instructor provides: • choice of exercises and adjusting the initial parameters (area of navigation, hydrometeorological conditions, time of the day, placement and trajectory of the target vessels, emergency situations, installation of navigation signs); • entry of new targets; • visual control of the students exercising with the help of virtual cameras; • active...
