Identify the affected displays
List the equipment reporting the mismatch and any displayed alarms. Record what the responsible onboard team has observed, including whether the difference is constant or intermittent. Do not assume which source is correct.
Include the system history
Supply model and service references from the equipment register. Note any recent sensor work, power event, or change to an interface. Ask the desk to establish the scope for reviewing the source and receiving equipment.
Do not adjust the evidence away
Do not recalibrate, align, switch sources, or change settings on the basis of this page. Technical actions require qualified personnel, the vessel’s procedures, and an authorized plan. Request the expected test record and limitations of the work.
