1.6.3 How to operate the Operation Panel Unit (on NSK mode)
The NSK mode is usable only when the NSK-I/F Board is activated. The board is needed to
receive ship’s heading angle either in Synchro or in step mode or to input log speed in pulse.

9) Press the ENTER SWITCH, and the initial value of HEADING is registered into the
S-VDR.
