Adding a Port
To add a port to the list, first locate it in Part III of the
tide table book, then align the cursor with Add port to
the Port List and press EDIT. The Zone in the upper left
corner refers to the time zone offset to UTC. Use the
name given in the tide table for the name given in the
Place portion of the screen. To help you locate this port
in the printed volume later, use the table number given in
the first column of the manual as the tide number in the
CDU.
Then simply follow along the table in the manual and
enter the appropriate offsets. The software is setup
just like the manual. You may encounter a table that
requires seasonal offsets. Where these might apply, the
CDU provides you the opportunity to input a Fixed value
or the seasonal Table values. Highlight the first softkey
and press ENT to toggle between these two selections.
Highlight the second softkey, Edit Table, and press ENT
to make the necessary corrections. Highlight the Done
softkey and press ENT when you finish the seasonal
table, otherwise press the EDIT key when the necessary
data is entered.
You can scroll through the entered tables with the up and
down cursor keys when you are not in the edit mode. You
also have the option to modify or delete a port from the
list.
Tide table information is mapped to an area of RAM
which is saved during future software upgrades.
