Manual speed: If checked, user can enter value (kn) for speed.
This is used only if there are no other speed or SOG sensors chosen.
Log: If checked, a log is used as water speed source.
If you have a dual-axis doppler log which can measure both water and bottom track,
then installation parameters can be set to receive water tracking as log device.
Dual log (water): If checked, a dual log is used as speed and course source.
"(water)" is used to indicate that this information is from water track of dual log.
Dual log (bottom): If chosen, a dual log is used as speed and course source.
"(bottom)" is used to indicate that this information is from bottom track of dual log.
Ref tgt: Speed according to reference target.
Gyro1: Heading source is a gyrocompass. "(mag)" means the source is magnetic heading.
True heading source has no indication. If the source of Gyro1 is a gyro with synchro or
stepper interface, the indication "(require set)" appears when you need to set a new
initial value for the gyro.
Rate gyro: Heading source is a Rate of Turn gyro. "(calc.)" means the rate of turn is
calculated from gyro movement.
POSN page
The field of a position sensor contains a label (here DGPS-GLL and GGA+ZDA) which
indicates the name of the sensor; a status (primary/secondary/off) which indicates
if the sensor is used or not; position at conning position and local datum; speed and
course which has (MAG) if the course is referenced to magnetic north. A DGPS position
sensor has additional text Diff, if differential signal is in use. Latitude and longitude
values will appear in red and with additional text in the following conditions:·
- Kalman filter has excluded the sensor from its estimated position.
Additional text is "Excluded"
- Received position from position sensor is in another datum as set to be
received in the chart radar. Additional text is "Datum"
- If position sensors have position discrepancy active.
Additional text is "Discrepancy".
