Target. The system is designed to inter- face with DGPS, Fanbeam, gyros,

MRU, anemometer and thrusters as standard though several interfaces are available as options including HiPAP hydroacoustics and diesel-electric power plants. The cJoy system adds wind-compensated joystick control with automatic heading control and optional simple station keeping to the Compact

DP Series. The cPos and cJoy are con- trolled via the cPos OS-520 Operator

Station or cJoy OT-520 Operator

Terminal, respectively. These user friendly tools provide the facilities for vessel control via joystick, DP and autopilot. The cPos OS-520 is ergonom- ically designed for simple control adjustments and commands, and fea- tures a 17-in. color TFT display, three- axis joystick and quick access buttons for intuitive operation. The cJoy OT-520 is equal to the cPos OS-520 but is deliv- ered without an external TFT display.

The cJoy Bridge Wing Terminal can be interfaced to any of the two operator units and mounted outdoors.
