Re: Not able to ignore SART alarm.

Compared to the OP Tracker FS#2312
The following was a very good clarifying point.

Well, when I run the test recording of a SART alert it is not enough to set the MMSI number to ignore and then acknowledge the alarm. After a while it turns up again.

Re: Not able to ignore SART alarm.

Hans,

We seem to have here an issue of miscommunications.

I concur with you that a continuous non-emergency SART needs to be "blocked". However, I am concerned that at some point the non-emergency will become a real emergency. Lets see if we can come up with a solution that keeps O functional, allows blocking of non-emergency messages, keeps the user aware that he is receiving SART messages, and allow the user an opportunity to review and reactive what has been blocked.

What I am suggesting is that, instead of "killing" the SART alerts by ignoring them completely, we allow the user to change them into an once per received message red flash of an ICON. This would allow O to continue to be used for navigation while allowing the user to remain aware of received but "blocked" SART messages. The proposed implementation (one of many possible implementations) also allows users to reactive the SART display at their discretion.

Re: Not able to ignore SART alarm.

Paul, It takes some understanding and actions to complete this operation. There is no simple button to push. The normal user will probably have to look in the manual to do it.
Now you want a button and more programming?

Re: Not able to ignore SART alarm.

Btw, currently the Sart Icon reappears, and I guess that is a special Sart case utilizing the "list" of all ais that is stored

One way to clear that out would be to erase that entry, or clear the whole file out.

Perhaps this sart icon stickyness was intentional? And could be left in place? (I think bdbcat commit a change, but its possible to undo it and we can make a note in the wiki that this happens. My only question is when does it stop?

Re: Not able to ignore SART alarm.

Rick...

My commit fixes an error. Now OCPN behaves as designed. Stipulated AIS targets are ignored, starting from the time the "ignore" selection is made in MMSI Props dialog, and lasting until "ignore" option is cleared. This may be either in this current OCPN session, or some subsequent session. That is the current design.


Doing something different than currently designed/implemented for SART alerts is a valid discussion, but unrelated to this fix.

Thanks
Dave

Does the function work as described for you?

@Rick...
Thanks for documenting so clearly. Looks good.

Thanks

It looks like I'm a bit late for the party.....
The answer is yes to your question.
With the new bug-fix and extended documentation I think we're good on this issue.
OpenCPN can't fix all the real worlds problems.... It's not the first time we see problems regarding AIS....
I wonder how the responsible SAR authorities in T&T views the original problem?
