9. OTHER FUNCTIONS
9.1 Smoothing
Own ship’s track may be traced on the screen
with a crooked line even though the ship is
running straight. This is due to navaid signal
variation, and can be compensated by ad-
justing the smoothing factor. A smoothing set-
ting between 00 and 15 is available. The
higher the figure the more the track is
smoothed however too high a setting slows
response time to speed and course changes.
