6.2.1.5.4 SETUP Menu: COMPASS
Via it´s NMEA-interface the bearing system is able to receive and
to process data of an external compass and data of the internal
compass module. These data are used to put out heading
information referring to north and to compensate drag errors caused by changes of heading.
In setup menu COMPASS the reference direction of the incoming data (magnetic / geographic)
is to be defined.
NOTE
For stationary use instead of compass data, constant values can be put in (see 6.2.1.5.4.4 ).
Following adjustments in submenu SETUP - COMPASS can be done:
