Log pages. Successive presses of the DATA key will scroll through each
page in turn.
2.21.1 Status Page
This page conveniently displays instrument and satellite data onto one
screen. The information presented here is dependent upon what
instruments are connected to the LCD Plotter. Providing the GPS has a
lock, the minimum information displayed will be the number of satellites
acquired by the GPS and the HDOP (Horizontal Dilution Of Position) value.
2.21.2 Depth Log
The Depth Log shows depth readings in a graphical format. Providing the
LCD Plotter is connected to a suitable display transmitting depth
information, this data is continually logged and then may be displayed over a
set period of time ranging from the previous 3-24 hours. Pressing the
ZOOM +/- keys changes the time period.
An instantaneous depth reading may be obtained by moving the time line
with the CURSOR left/right keys. This depth is then displayed at the top of
the chart.
2.21.3 Speed Log
The Speed Log shows speed readings in a graphical format. Providing the
LCD Plotter is connected to a suitable display transmitting speed
information, this data is continually logged and then may be displayed over a
set period of time ranging from the previous 3-24 hours. Pressing the
ZOOM +/- keys changes the time period.
An instantaneous speed reading may be obtained by moving the time line
with the CURSOR left/right keys. This speed is then displayed at the top of
the chart.
2.21.4 Wind Log
The Wind Log can display graphically Apparent Wind information or True
Wind information dependent on the data being received at its NMEA input
port. True wind speed and true wind direction data requires boat speed and
heading to be input in addition to apparent wind speed and angle. Apparent
wind angle is shown in the format 0-180 L or R whilst true wind direction is
shown as 0-359° M.
