1 HW/SW Requirements

Windows XPP, Windows 7, Windows 8 or higher (Windows NT 4.0 and Win 2000

not supported anymore!) – all in Pro versions

Pentium 2 GHz or higher (Demo can be less)

Dongle for parallel port (LPT1) or USB port for NON demo version

At least 2 GB of hard disk space

1 GB free RAM – for NaviPac (note that Windows also is using RAM)

Recommended display resolution: 1600x900

When using DTM in HD:

At least 65k colours

More than 2 Gb of memory (the more the better)

Running NaviPac without a dongle requires that all instruments must be set to

simulated mode in the configuration program (default).

Windows installation must include TCP/IP protocol

The Windows user must have administrative rights on the pc and we recommend

that you disable the use of firewall and UAC. Detailed info can be requested for

Win7/8 installation.

2 Special Requirements

The NaviPac system uses computer name for process registration. In current version, we do

not allow spaces in the name (e.g. “EIVA Demo” should be changed to “EIVA_Demo”). This

can be checked using the Network icon in the Control Panel.

To allow inter process communication (e.g. between NaviPac and Helmsman’s Display), the

computer must be configured with TCP/IP networking. This is used between all programs

both internal and through network. This is also needed for stand-alone on e.g. notepad etc.

2.1 Dual-screen setup

When setting up a dual-screen system, set the resolution to the same for each monitor, not

one big combined resolution for both monitors, e.g. set them 2x1024x768, not 1x2048x768.

Otherwise the Helmsman’s Display and other map based programs will “stretch” the display.

Page 4 of 39

3 Known Challenges

The following items must be noticed using version 3.10

When the system checks for dongle, a small ping is set on COM1 and COM2. This

might disturb sensitive instruments (seen for EPC 4800). If so, you have to go into

the Wibu key settings (Control Panel) and disable the use of COM1 etc.

NaviPac can handle up to 300 objects/offsets in total, i.e. fixed offsets,

USBL/remote etc.

Trying to use more could give unexpected results.

NaviPac can handle up to 128 instruments in total. Trying to use more could give

unexpected results.

Do not use the folder $EIVAHOME\log for any data or important stuff. NaviPac

removes all files from this at each start. Sub directories will not be touched.

Programs running on remote computer will not be shut down automatically.

Windows Vista

Initial test of NaviPac on Windows Vista have resulted in a few problems – not on all

computers but some arbitrary behavior

Windows NT is not supported from NP 3.4D patch 10 an onwards.

3.4D patch 10 an onwards: C-Map CM93/v3 now ONLY supported via eToken

dongle

4 Dongle installation procedure

The dongle installation is needed when real sensors should be connected to NaviPac - e.g.

one or more instruments are set ON (Non demo mode).

Place the software protection key (dongle) on the parallel port (if a printer is attached, just

place the dongle between printer cable and port) or the USB port.

The NaviPac installer will automatically install the WIBU key driver, if not then you may

activate it from the DVD start-up module

Page 6 of 39

5 SW installation procedure

To install the NaviPac SW do the following:

1. Make sure a previous release of the NaviPac is not started (use “Stop” button in setup program if started).

2. Make a copy of files from setup catalogue, which you have maintained. E.g. objects.txt will be a typical example.

3. Insert installation CD in drive (D: or whatever). 4. If autorun is activated, select NaviPac in the main installation window upper part.

5. Else - Type D:\NaviPac\Install\Version3.10\NaviPac3.10.exe from Run in Start menu (or

click on Setup.exe from Windows Explorer). The set-up program will automatically copy files (More than 100 MB) to a path specified by you ($EIVAHOME) and update Windows registry database and .INI files.

6. NOTE for NON demo version: If you have installed a previous version of NaviPac in same location, the Install will prompt you for reusing existing database or overwriting with demo database.

7. If you are upgrading NaviPac, the installation will automatically upgrade your settings in NaviPac.INI by adding new items if any.

8. If the ‘Jeppesen/C-Map’s CM93/3 ECDIS Kernel’ was checked (default off) the operator will be presented with the CM93/3 installer after reboot of Windows. This is only necessary if use of CM93/3 is planned, otherwise just cancel. The operator may run the CM93/3 install program again later if he regrets the cancel. Applies also for SevenC’s EC2007 ECDIS kernel installation.

5.1 Remote NaviPac installation procedure

Please, look into ..\NaviPac\Manuals\Appendix\A15_Remote_Helmsman_Installation.doc

for further information about remote NaviPac installation of Helmsman’s Display and other

module(s).

5.1.1 Online help on remote computers

NaviPac uses more and more compiled HTML documents (*.CHM) files for online help.

Display of these files is handled automatically of your favourite browser. We have

experienced that some installations using Microsoft iExplorer fails when reading on network

(eg. When if a remote Helmsman’s Display tries to read the CHM file on the master disk).

Details on the problem can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054/

To get around it open register editor (Run REGEDIT) and insert:

Page 8 of 39

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]

"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000001

5.1.2 Object distribution

In NP3.4D-P13 the way HD handles object (runline) distribution has been considerably

changed. Objects (runlines and now also waypoints, displaylines & models) are now

distributed through the use of a network jobfile, ie. all objects are opened through the

references listed in the distributed jobfile. To check whether HD is locating a proper net

version of the $EIVAHOME folder select menu Options; Directories and evaluate the

$EIVAHOME directory as shared net folder (see the screenshot below of the directory setup

dialog).

Folders mentioned with green exists OK – if red then please check

6.6 NaviPac Single User

In NaviPac version 3.10 and onwards, we have introduced a new variant. It is designed to

suit the needs of a small vessel operation in shallow water with the philosophy on ‘one man,

one boat’. The software is a part of the NaviSuite Kuda solution.

The single user NaviPac variant is slightly limited in features compared to the NaviPac Pro

variant:

No remote instances allowed: There is no support for remote Helmsman’s

Displays

Only one dynamic object: The system allows the use of a single towed vehicle or

small ROV positioned via USBL, cable counter or similar

No rig move: The system cannot be combined with the NaviPac TMS for rig moves

8 Basic operations

1. Start NaviPac Configuration module (NPConfig.exe) from the Start, Programs, NaviPac: NaviPac Config.

2. Display current setup (e.g. View, Display NaviPac setup). 3. If changes have been made, please remember to save them. 4. Start navigation by activating Navigation, Restart Navigation or Start Navigation -

manual (by manual you must select LOPs to use for navigation). Note: if you have just updated the SW or made changes to existing setup: then make a manual start and thereby generate a new online database ($EIVAHOME\DB\onlsetup.DB).

5. Demo version: In simulated mode, you can set speed and gyro of the vessel to simulate movements.

6. In the online application, you can start new windows by the View menu entry. E.g. start Helmsman’s Display with run-lines, etc.
