19.10.1 Installation parameter for wind sensor
There are installation parameters for a wind sensor:
• Source of True wind (Setting for inputted serial data)
• Display format (Relative wind, true wind)
• Output format to ARPA (output format to ARPA)
The tables which follow describe the above-mentioned parameters. Greyed options are default settings.
Source of true wind
Option Description
Receive (R)elative/Apparent Wind and Calculate True
Wind
“R” is extracted from the MWV sentence, read as
Apparent data and North and Theoretical are calculated.
Receive (T)heoretical Wind(HDG) and Calculate True
Wind
“T” is extracted from the MWV sentence, read as
Theoretical data and North and Apparent are calculated.
Receiver (T)rue Wind(North) and use it directly “T” is extracted from the MWV sentence, read as North
data and Apparent and Theoretical are calculated.
