B-20
Since the dynamics of a large vessel will not significantly excite the
transient behaviour of the filter, configure the heave filter to achieve a
small percentage steady state error at the expense of a long settling
time.
Table 36 describes the variations of steady state heave error and settling time
with changes in damping ratio and bandwidth.
Figure 69 through Figure 72 on
pages
B-21 through B-24 respectively show plots of steady state heave error
and transient behaviour for different combinations of heave filter parameters.
