Course Recorder KW950-CR
Introduction
The KW950-CR is a ship’s course recorder, gyro interface and repeater.
In its repeater / interface role, the unit receives synchro or stepper gyro transmission systems, or
NMEA 0183 heading data. The KW950-CR converts the information into standard ASCII data.
GPS and RSA data is input, combined with the gyro heading data and output to the printer or PC
The gyro heading information is displayed, together with indication of rate of turn, with front panel
push buttons provided to set initial alignment and brightness adjustment.
.
The data output from the KW950-CR includes time, date, position, ground speed, course, and the
date from GPS, Rudder Angle (if combined with the GPS data prior to the KW950-CR) along with
heading from the gyro. Both inputs are combined and passed to the printer with the supplied serial
cable.
The following conditions determine the data output rate:
1) Switch selectable output interval of between 1 to 15 minutes.
2) Change of course by 2 degrees from the last output. This occurs no faster than a 10 second
interval.
3) Instant output on demand by pressing the AL button.
