FOREWORD

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO Wave Analyzer WV-100/WV-100ST. We are con­fident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.

Since 1948, FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and
dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our ex­tensive global network of agents and dealers.

Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and maintenance.

Features

This software, installed in a PC, analyzes and displays the wave radar data obtained from the FU­RUNO model chart radar FAR-3xx0 or marine radar FAR-2xx8 series.

• Automatic wave height adjustment.

• Wave analysis for both X-band and S-band radars.

• Equipped with sea trial mode (WV-100ST only).

• Always connect the PC to the Navigation network via a firewall device, as shown in the System
Configuration diagram.

Usage Precautions

To prevent potential damage to your radar, follow the below precautions:

• Only connect the analysis PC for wave analysis. Do not connect the PC for any other purpose.

• Do not install any other software on the PC, other than this analysis software.

• Always connect the PC to the Navigation network via a firewall device, as shown in the System
Configuration diagram.

• Do not connect the analysis PC to the ship-board network, or other networks, directly. Always
perform updates to Windows and anti-virus software while offline.

• Before connecting a USB Flash Memory or other USB storage device to the PC, preform a virus
check on the device and confirm that the storage can safely be connected to the PC.

• Only authorized personnel (PC administrator or users with administrative privileges) should use
this software.

• Anti-virus and security software can prevent this software from working correctly. Adjust your
anti-virus and security settings so that this software is white-listed. This software is designed to
be compatible with Windows Defender.

• Before using the PC for a purpose other than wave analysis, or before discarding the PC, unin­stall this software.

FOREWORD

Restrictions on wave analysis

The following restrictions apply to wave analysis.

Radar settings

• Pulse width: Must be set between S1 and M1 (S1 has the highest measurement accuracy.)

• The wave analysis is not available when using the interswitch function. (The slave echo for the
interswitch is used for the wave analysis. The wave setting is canceled at the interswitch.)

Operational specification of wave radar

• This software analyzes wave data using the radars specified beforehand.

• To enable wave analysis, access the settings on the connected radar and switch [WAVE
MODE] to [ON].

In both cases, an error display appears when the analysis results are outside the capabilities of
this software.

Program version no.

1.2.1 Wave spectrum display area

The 2D analyzed wave spectrum is displayed on the left side of the screen.

• Wave period: The wave periods, or time between waves, appear in the wave spectrum display
area as dashed circles and numerical values (numerical positions are fixed). The wave period
is 15 seconds, 10 seconds, 5 seconds in order of increasing distance to own ship. The farther
away from own ship, the shorter the waves (wind waves), the closer to own ship, the longer the
waves (swells). The periods displayed on the screen are not proportionally displayed due to fre­quency being used as a distance substitute.

• Wind waves: Waves generated by the wind blowing on the sea.

• Swells: Waves that remain after the waves developed by the wind disappears, or waves that

are detected from a distance and attenuate as they approach.

• Bearing line: The 360° azimuth is divided into 16 with solid lines at 22.5° intervals to make the
waves’ approach easier to understand.

• Wave spectrum: The color of the wave spectrum indicates the relative intensity of the wave on
the wave spectrum display. The intensity of the wave increases in order of dark blue, light blue,
light green, dark green, orange, yellow, red.

• Own ship icon: The own ship icon is displayed at the center of the screen.

1.2.2 Radar echo display area

The radar echo for wave analysis from the specified radar is displayed on the right side of the
screen.

• Bearing line: The 360° azimuth is divided into four with solid lines at 90° intervals to make the
direction easier to understand.

• Radar echo (for the wave analysis): The absolute intensity of the radar reflection from the wave
increases in order of dark blue, light blue, light green, dark green, orange, yellow, red.

• Own ship icon: The own ship icon is displayed at the center of the screen.

1.2.3 Significant wave height, wave information

The significant wave height and wave information are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

• [Significant]: Shows the significant wave height. The significant wave height is a statistical value
obtained by averaging the top 1/3 highest waves when observing the specified area. Although
its value is different from the maximum value or the simple average value, it is the closest value
to the wave height visually observed by a skilled observer.

• [1st Wave], [2nd Wave]: Among the observed waves, the two most outstanding waves are se­lected and assigned as [1st Wave] and [2nd Wave] for reference. There is no distinction made
between wind waves and swells for this selection.

2. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION,

Wave spectrum Radar echo

HOW TO INTERPRET THE DIS­PLAY

2.1 Principle of Measurement

This software analyzes sea waves by using the received radar signal. When observing the waves
with the radar, sea clutter echoes appear as stripes.

The amplitude of the sea reflection echo depends on the roughness caused by the wind acting on
the sea reflection. (It is not the height of the wave.) This software obtains multiple echoes, pro­cesses the data, and calculates the wave spectrum, wave height, wave direction, and wave peri­od.

2.2 Reliability of Analysis Results

When the sea reflection echoes are displayed with stripes, the analysis results are more reliable.
When the sea reflection echoes are not displayed in stripes (lull, rain), the analysis results are less
reliable.

Example image for high reliability

2. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION, HOW TO INTERPRET THE DISPLAY

Wave spectrum Radar echo

Detection
sensitivity

4 sec. 15 sec.

Wave period

: Wave radar (Detection sensitivity

for long period is high.)

: Visual observation (Detection

sensitivity for short period is high.)

The figure below is an example of echo during rainfall. This image is less reliable because no
stripes are visible, that is, the spectrum is broadened and there are no outstanding waves.

Example image for low reliability

Difference for the wave result between this software and visual observation

The waves that can be detected by this software are gravity waves with a wave period of 4 sec­onds or more. The waves with a short period, that is, the waves blown by the wind may not be
observed. Therefore, the visual wave direction and the analysis result may be different (see the
figure below).

correctly.

tiple times, quit the software that is al­ready activated.

• Restart the software.

• If there is software running other
than this software, exit it.

In case of rainfall, switch to an S-band
radar.

• Check if power is supplied to the
PC (the battery is not running).

• Check if the vents on the PC are
blocked.

Change the radar pulse width to S1
since S1 is the highest in measure­ment accuracy.

Restart the software.

• Check if the port is recognized by
the device manager.

• Check the COM port driver.

• Close if the COM port is opend by
another software.

• Quit the other software.

The wave analyzer outputs the data of the wave analysis result by serial communication.

• RAwv1 and RAwv2 are output as one data block. The number of RAwv2 contained in the same
block is determined by the number of waves analyzed. For example, if significant wave, 1st
wave, and 2nd wave were analyzed, the number of RAwv2 would be three.

• The data output cycle is shown in the table below.
