5.2.9 Function Live: Key 8 < Live >
The bearing system is processing 750 single bearing procedures per second. These single
bearings may be varying in a significant range, depending on signal strength and modulation.
The processing computer is averaging the bearing
values over a certain time by the means of a
special processing algorithm (see 6.2.1.5.1.1), thus
achieving a fairly stabilized display.
Pressing key 8 < Live > during the bearing mode, the LED
circle will indicate the unaveraged single bearing values. The
range of variation of the display allows to analyse the received
signal and is a measure of the bearing quality.
5.2.10 Function Clear: Key 9 < Clr >
Actuating key 9 < Clr > during the bearing mode, the
averaging memory will be cancelled. After releasing the key the averaging process is starting
again.
This function is to be applied in order to minimize the drag error, if receiving very weak signals.
5.2.11 BID-Indicator
If the BeaconID is received, the indicator „BID“ is shown on the display. The BeaconID can be
displayed in the submenu INFO - BEACON.
