F180R MOTION Sensor User and Reference Guide
In the Units section, the display units for Speed and Distance in the application are selected.
Speed - Options: km/h, m/h, m/s or kts
Distance - Options: m, ft or yrd
The Mode section determines how the F180R System measures Speed and Distance.
The Speed dropdown determines whether the F180R System includes any vertical motion in
its calculation of speed, or whether it just uses horizontal motion. There are two options:
'2D' - this excludes vertical motion in the calculation of speed
'3D' - this includes vertical motion in the calculation of speed
The Distance dropdown determines the F180R System's response when the vessel's speed is
very slow. There are two options:
'Hold' - distance measurement is not incremented if actual speed of vessel is less than
the precision available from the F180R System. This effectively removes jitter and noise
from the distance measurement.
'Free' - any motion at any speed is included in the distance measurements
NOTE: The selections you make here do not affect the F180R System itself. They affect
only the MOTION Control application. You may change the units at any time so that,
for example, a logged data file that you recorded with the speed units set to metres/
second may be replayed with the units set to knots.
