east/west and height from WGS 84 to offset.
Positive north and east.
The offset is applied for all stations received on
the correction link. The operator must know the
reference position offsets to use the additional
settings.
3.9.14 Gyro interface
GYROIO_1 TYPE NMEA_HDT
Heading input from a gyrocompass can be used
to display heading and speed on the TMS
display. In addition, heading is necessary to
utilise the built-in lever arm compensation.
Three types of heading format are accepted by
the DPS system, the NMEA heading formats,
HEHDT and HEHRC, and the Robertson LR22
BCD format, LR22_BCD.
3.9.15 Vessel information
Vessel information covers vessel dimensions and antenna position.
VESSEL NAME SHUTTLE
The vessel dimension and vessel shape parameters,
defines the vessel to be drawn in the TMS display.
VESSEL LENGTH 100 [m]
VESSEL WIDTH 20 [m]
VESSEL SHAPE SHIP
Vessel shape can be ship, rig or jackup.
ANTENNA POSITION 75 0 0
The antenna position parameter defines where on the
vessel the antenna is located. This position is not only
used to draw the antenna in the TMS display, but is
also used when calculating relative distance. Together
with vessel dimension and antenna location, the name
of the vessel may be defined.
The antenna position is defined as x, y and z. x is the
distance along ship from the back of the vessel to the
antenna (positive forwards), y is the distance across
ship from the centre line (positive to starboard) and z
is the height of the antenna above the vessel's mean
sea level (positive downwards). All units are in
metres.
