IMPORTANT NOTICE ON TIDE MEASUREMENTS
(In nav-aided mode, tide accuracy depends heavily on gyro accuracy.)
SETTING SHIP’S HEADING
The CI-35/35H has the nav-aided mode to measure absolute tides even in deep waters where ground tracking is unattainable. To achieve reliable measurements, however, you must supply accurate heading (gyro) information and ship’s position (or speed/course) data to the CI-35/35H.
If you are going to use nav-aided mode, set the reading of the AD converter (gyro interface) exactly with that of master gyrocompass.
Procedure
1. Confirm that the gyrocompass has settled and all the necessary compensations (latitude com­pensation, weather compensation, etc.) are made correctly.
2. Manipulate the AD converter to obtain the same reading as you read on the master gyrocom­pass. (Do not make adjustment while the ship is turning.)

If the gyro reading is accurate enough, the CI-35/35H should provide accurate tide information. If the gyro data contains some error, however, you may see the following symptoms.
¡ Set/drift information on nav-aided mode differs from that on ground-tracking mode. ¡ Tide/tide differential information on nav-aided mode differs from that on ground-tracking

CALIBRATING COURSE OFFSET (Automatic)
A. When ground-tracking is attainable:
1. Make sure the navaid (GPS) is working correctly and accurately.
2. On CI-35/35H, select ground tracking mode. (Press the TRACKING MODE key to see the “GT” mode indication on the display.)
3. In Menu 4, set ‘CRS CAL MODE’ to “GT”.
4. Run your boat at a speed about 10 kts, keeping the same direction. T o minimize the effect of gyro speed error, it is desirable to run along parallels (i.e., eastward or westward).
5. In Menu 4, place the cursor on “START” (‘CRS CAL EXEC’) and then press the EVENT key . As soon as you press the EVENT, “0.0” should appear in reverse text at the upper-right part of the display. After 2 mile-run, the display will show the course calibration angle (result of calculation) in normal text.

WHY IS GYRO DATA IMPORTANT IN NAV-AIDED MODE?
If you consider the difference of tide vector calculations is ground-tracking mode and in nav-aided mode, you will realize how important the gyro (heading) information is.
Tide Calculation in Ground-Tracking Mode
In ground-tracking mode, the CI-35/35H derives tide information from the following data.
(1) Ship’s speed/course based on ground
(ground speed)
(2) Ship’s speed/course based on target layer
(water speed)
(3) Bearing of ship’s bow
(Heading by gyro)
Both ground speed (1) and water speed (2) are sensed by the common transducers mounted on the hull. Thus, they are the speed vectors with respect to the ship’s bow. No matter what the true bearing of ship’ s heading be, the relative angle of these two vectors does not change. The tide vector is simply given as the difference of these two speed vectors.

Tide Vector
The heading data by gyro (3) is used after the tide vector calculation just to express the vector direc­tions in true bearings (north referenced).
Even if the gyro data contains error, the sizes and relative angles of vectors do not change. The gyro error only affects the bearing indication of each vec­tor .

ix
Tide Calculation in Nav-Aided Mode
In nav-aided mode, the CI-35/35H derives tide information from the following data.
(1) Ship’s speed/course sensed by the external navigator (GPS)
(nav speed = pseudo ground speed)
(2) Ship’s speed/course based on target layer
(water speed)
(3) Bearing of ship’s bow
(Heading by gyro)
Here, nav speed (1) is the ship’ s speed vector sensed by the external navigator, and the moving direc­tion is expressed with respect to true north.
While the water speed (2) is the ship’s speed vec­tor measured by CI-35/35H using the Doppler shifts against the measuring layer, and accordingly its di­rection is expressed with respect to the ship’s bow.
As the directional reference of these two vectors are different (north vs ship’ s bow), we can not sim­ply calculate the difference of vectors to obtain the tide vector in question.
So the direction of water speed vector (2) is con­verted to true bearing (north reference) by using the gyro data, and then the tide vector is calculated.
If the gyro data contains some error, the true bear­ing of the water speed vector changes (rotates) ac­cordingly . While the bearing of the nav speed vector does not change with the gyro error. (The relative angle of these two changes.)
In other words the tide vector, given as a differ­ence of these two speed vectors, changes in size (speed) and bearing by the gyro error . (Error in size and bearing mean the tide vector is unreliable and useless.)

CHAPTER 1. GENERAL

1. FEATURES

¡ The functions of CI-35 and CI-35H are same. CI-35H is type approved by MOT (Ministory of
Transportation).
¡ Even in deep waters where ground (bottom) reference is not available acoustically, the CI-35/
35H can provide absolute movements of measuring layers by receiving position (or speed) data from GPS navigator and heading data from gyro compass. It may be used on deep sea fishing boats or on ocean research vessels.
¡ The CI-35/35H consists of three major units; display unit; transceiver unit and hull unit (trans-
ducer), each compact enough to permit installation even on a small boat.
¡ Triple-beam system for automatic error compensation against pitching and rolling of vessel.
Single-mold transducer makes installation easy while maintaining mechanical beaming accu­racy.
¡ Sounding frequency of 130 kHz provides high interference immunity from other acoustic equip-
ments. Intelligent digital signal processing technique adds tracking stability and measuring ac­curacy.
¡ Echo level display always on screen. Permits constant monitoring of signal conditions of three
sounding beams.
¡ Tide effect display plots movements of tides beneath the vessel’s course track. Helpful in esti-
mating three-dimensional deformation of cast net.
¡ Tide history display presents change of tide over last 24 sample points (24 hours maximum) ¡ Raw data output port provided for collecting and analyzing current data on a separate computer .
Note: When transmitting with the external transmission pulse (KP) taken from an external device (echosounder, sonar , etc.), the repetition rate of the KP should be more than 500 ms. The repetition rate may become shorter than 500 ms when the range setting on the external device is less than 100 m. Therefore, set the range on the external device to more than 100 m.

2. PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT

When a moving vessel emits an acoustical pulse into the water at an angle, a portion of emitted energy is reflected from the seabed and other microscopic objects in the sound path, such as plank­ton or air bubbles. The frequency of the received signal is shifted from the transmitted frequency in proportion to relative velocity between the vessel and underwater reflecting objects. This is called Doppler Effect.
The CI-35/35H calculates and displays movements of ship and currents at specific depths by mea­suring Doppler shifts obtained from three separate directions.
Planktonic layer
Seabed
Ship’s Speed
(Here, speed is a vector value including velocity and direction.)
Frequency of reflected signal is shifted in proportion to relative speed between the vessel and reflecting objects.
Depending on the base of measurement, ship’s speed is expressed in two ways:
Ground tracking speed: Ship’s speed and course relative to seabed (fixed base)
(Absolute speed)
Water tracking speed: Ship’s speed and course relative to water layer just below the
(Relative speed)

:Base of measurement
Assume that the ship and layer A are moving in the same direction, and ship’s speeds based on ground (Vg) and on layer A (Vwa) are measured as;
Vg = 10 kt (Ship’s speed based on ground) Vwa = 7 kt (Ship’s speed based on layer A).
Speed of layer A based on ground (C1) can be calculated as follows:
C1 = Vg - Vwa
= 10 - 7 = 3 (kt)
Nav-Tide
(Absolute tide)
Absolute tide can be measured in the nav-aided mode. Nav-aided ship’s speed (Vn) is equivalent to ship’s ground tracking speed in the ideal conditions.
That is, the nav-tide can be calculated by simply replacing Vg with Vn in the above equation.

Tide differential calculations in ground tracking mode
As an absolute ship’s speed (Vg) is available in the ground tracking mode, tide speeds of layer A (C1) and layer B (C2) based on ground are calculated as follows:
C1 = Vg - Vwa (Speed of layer A based on ground) C2 = Vg - Vwb (Speed of layer B based on ground)
Thus, the tide differential (Cd) between layer A and layer B is;
Cd = C2 - C1
= (Vg - Vwb) - (Vg - Vwa) = Vwa - Vwb = 8 - 5 = 3 (kt)
or

In the water tracking mode, watermass just below the transducer (near-surface layer) is taken as the base of all measurements (virtual ground). Therefore, the ship and tide speeds in the water tracking mode are not absolute but relative to this near-surface layer.
Vw = 9 kt (Ship’s speed based on near-surface layer) Vwa = 8 kt (Ship’s speed based on layer A) Vwb= 5 kt (Ship’s speed based on layer B)

Tide differential calculations in water tracking mode
Tide speeds of layer A (C1) and layer B (C2) relative to near-surface layer (Vw) are calculated as follows:
D1 = Vw - Vwa (Speed of layer A based on near-surface layer) D2 = Vw - Vwb (Speed of layer B based on near-surface layer)
The tide differential (Dd) between layers A and layer B is;
Dd = D2 - D1
= (Vw - Vwb) - (Vw - Vwa) = Vwa - Vwb = 8 - 5 = 3 (kt)
or
Dd = D1 - D2
= (Vw - Vwa) - (Vw - Vwb) = Vwa - Vwb = 5 - 8 = -3 (kt)

If you compare the results of calculations on this page with the ones on preceding pages, you will find the tide differential of two layers is identical irrespective of tracking mode.
