10.Choose how to indicate waypoints, Name or ID No., at the WPT ID Format pull-down menu.
11.At the L/L format dialog box, choose how many digits (seconds) to display after decimal point
in latitude and longitude.
12.Choose the NMEA 0183 version to output, Ver 1.5, Ver 2.0 or Ver 3.0, at the Output format
pull-down menu.
13.At the Output Sentences field, check the NMEA0183 sentences to output.
14.At the Sensor Type field, check sensor data that is input to the MFD.
Example 1: Check Position & SOG/COG for GPS receiver connection.
Example 2: Check Heading for heading sensor connection.
15.If the GPS receiver GP-320B is connected, click the Page 2 button to show the setting menu
for GP-320B. Set all items referring to the table shown below.
Menu item Description
POS. Smoothing When the receiving condition is unfavorable, the GPS fix may change, even if
the vessel is dead in water. This change can be reduced by smoothing the
raw GPS fixes. A setting between 000 to 999 is available. The higher setting
the more smoothed the raw data, however too high a setting slows response
time to change in latitude and longitude. This is especially noticeable at high
ship’s speeds. Increase the setting if the GPS fix changes.
SOG/COG Smooth-
ing
During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speed and course) is directly measured
by receiving GPS satellite signals. The raw velocity data may change ran-
domly depending on receiving conditions and other factors. You can reduce
this random variation by increasing the smoothing. Like with latitude and lon-
gitude smoothing, the higher the speed and course smoothing the more
smoothed the raw data. If the setting is too high, however, the response to
speed and course change slows. For no smoothing, enter all zeroes.
