2. Fast data provision:
• High speed data flow (fast reactivity to the measurements from sensors providing
high speed updates to the autopilot and data display).
• Fast data rate interface with the onboard PCs for the major navigation packages
(via the SailNet protocol on IP and various gateways). Compatible with the Proteus
communication system.
3. Safe and secure operation:
• Integrated safety: various safe modes allow use of the main functions without the
Processor Regatta.
• The use of the lightest possible Linux OS ensures real time operation without
background task (or virus) and avoiding mechanical moving parts (such as hard
disk, fans…)
• Auto diagnostic log for a good understanding in case of malfunction.
4. Standardisation :
Simple and open formats and protocols specified for:
• Variables logs
• Variable exchange protocol via fast RS232/NMEA0183 or IP.
• Adjustment for the linear calibrations, filtering, alarms and non-linear calibration
files, polar tables.
• Use of one single variable definition base for each level: in the remote Gyropilot
Graphic display, the Processor Regatta, the variables log, the compatible
navigation software (Deckman), the IP broadcast, the post-processing software
(Excel..), the diagnostic software (Toplink ...).
5. Post-processing:
• Internal communication for diagnostics and modeling.
6. Open data:
• Functions can be customized or translated (display on the Gyropilot Graphic,
Deckman, Tools).
• Open IP protocol for « SailNet » variables exchange (Linux/windows libraries with
samples supplied, possibility to use several boats and/or navigation programs
simultaneously).
7. Upgrades:
• Easy Processor Regatta update via IP
• Use of the Topline peripherals with a Flash memory for onboard update with PC
Toplink.
•
Processor Regatta interface page on the Gyropilot Graphic display for easy HCI
update.
8. Power management:
• Allows the on board PC to operate in standby mode while getting the performance
data on the nke displays.
• The Processor Regatta enhances the wind data (faster refresh and less noise). As
a consequence, the autopilot steering is optimized and reduces the use of the ram’s
motor.
