Panel: Instrument Selection
The Instrument Selection panel contains a number of large buttons for selecting the required object.
Clicking a button will open a selection window where you either choose to create a new object of the required type or to open an existing object of that type.
(Remark: You can achieve this also via the NMEA Object Explorer panel)
Observe that finding the right object is much easier if you assign a tag to it as in the examples below.
 Select AIS object
This will open a new dialog box as shown below:
You either can open an existing AIS target by double clicking on the name (e.g. double click on DROMEDARIS) or select the name and then click the OK button.
A new target can be defined by double clicking the "(Add New)" line within the appropriate target class.
