352.1.7 Response = L/L = SPD
Unlike a compass or speed paddlewheel, the
Raystar
100 GPS sensor does
not calculate L/L position, Course, or Speed changes instantaneously.
Instead, these readings are calculated from changes to your position over a
short period of time. The accuracy of these functions, however, is excellent
(within one degree and 0.1 knot under ideal conditions). One major
advantage you can enjoy with these readouts is that the resultant data of
course and speed are actual measurements over the ground which include
the effects of wind and tide.
For the Position, Course, and Speed readouts, there are three display
responses or
“averaging”periods
available for selection. They are:
SHORT
-
Very responsive, slightly erratic (3 seconds)
MRD
-
Good response; more stable
(10 seconds
)
LANG
-
Slower response, very stable
(30 seconds )
To change response time from SHORT to
MRD
or LONG, press the
