Subjects of this Section:
◆ Synchronisation of the gyro compass (Set Gyro)
◆ Selection of the speed sensor
◆ Specifying whether Speed Through the Water (STW) or Speed
Over Ground (SOG) is to be used
◆ Input for the Reference Target Speed mode
◆ Manual input of speed
◆ Input of drift and set
◆ Selection of the position sensor
◆ Manual correction of the position
CAUTION:
The right choice of navigation sensors, the right setting of the navigation
data and a continuous overview of the status of the selected navigation
sensors are very important for safe navigation.
In the case of multiple installations, the settings described in the following only have to be made on one
of the radar indicators. All components of the system are automatically supplied with the navigation data
resulting from the settings made on any desired radar indicator. This also applies to the CHARTPILOT,
if there is one.
5.1 Compass
For the transfer of the heading information, a technique is often used which transfers heading changes
only, and not the absolute value. Therefore, in such cases, after switch-on of the radar system and after
failure of the signal transfer, the synchronism of the heading transfer process must be checked and, if
necessary, corrected.
Display of the Heading Value Used
The heading value currently being transferred from the
compass and used in the entire radar system is displayed in
the HDG area.
Synchronisation of the Heading Transfer
Click on the Heading area and, by means of the virtual
keyboard, enter the value displayed by the gyro compass.
☞ If the ship is yawing, click on the OK button of the virtual keyboard when the heading displayed on
the compass has the same value as the value entered on the virtual keyboard.
If the course transfer takes place by means of a serial interface (e.g. according to IEC 61162), the
heading value cannot be changed.
