Verify RADAR settings
If direct GYRO1 and GYRO2 or LOG and DUAL LOG are not available, you can use radar as source for heading,
speed and course.

Verify POSITION sensors
The data field of a position sensor contains a label (here DGPS PB, SYLEDIS or LSR85PB) which indicates the
type of the sensor, Primary-Secondary-OFF status that indicates, if the sensor is included or not, position in local
datum, speed and course. A DGPS position sensor has additional text Diff, if differential signal is in use.
Position sensors have priority, which is indicated using Primary and Secondary. Only one sensor can be primary
while the others can be secondary or off position. After OFF-state a position sensor is changed to secondary-state.
After secondary-state a position sensor is changed to primary-state and if there was already a position sensor with
primary-state it will be changed automatically to secondary-state.
SWITCH ”Primary” THAT SENSOR WHICH IS CONSIDERED TO BE MOST RELIABLE.
SWITCH “Secondary” THOSE SENSORS WHICH ARE CONSIDERED TO BE RELIABLE.
Verify KALMAN FILTER
The Kalman filter is an automatic process that will calculate the most probable position based on all position sensors.
The filter uses in its process all sensor that has not OFF as selection. For more information about Kalman Filter, see
Chapter "Filter operation".
Verify ALIGNMENT
The alignment is a correction given by the Chart Align function. Normally switch OFF in the start up procedure.
For more information about alignment, see Chapter "How to use position alignment".
