Note2: IS15. Magnitic variation from the HDG message is only used to calculate true heading from the data in the same Hdg message, and is not read in to the system.
Magnetic variaton out in the HDG-message is the variation currently in use in the IS15 system, this will be the preset value if none others are available
Proprietary sentences in/out IS15:
