Help / Training / POC Tip 004: DCAMS 02 Plotter Basic This presentation is provided for the users of DCAMS. It can be used as a refresher type training or for those that have never used the program to become familiar with basic plotting. The trainee should complete the prior training (DCAMS 01) before beginning this one. OR Actual plot from a casualty. Compartments removed as a security measure. No plotting was modified. This presentation runs in an automatic setup requiring no input from the user (use F5 key to launch). Timing has been set at a beginner pace (down arrow may be used for faster timing).
Fire, Fire, Fire. Fire in compartment 5-36-0-E, MER 1. General Quarters, General Quarters. A fire onboard has many challenges, the firefighting team must attack and contain it before the damage spreads and consumes the ship. Part of the Damage Control response is good communications, DCAMS provides the ship with non-verbal means to identify, describe, pinpoint, and update casualties, personnel, and boundaries. The laptops communicate all the information plotted automatically to the other stations, reducing the errors of verbal reports.

Continue adding and updating the casualty, boundaries, and personnel icons as the information is received. When the user “Right Clicks” an Icon they may select “Information”. This will provide them additional capability to enter amplifying information about the casualty. Each Icon has its own Info Box. See example below. This concludes the Plotter Basic presentation.
