2.2 [Sensor] Menu
In order to display data correctly, enter the ship’s dimensions, SCX-20 installation lo-
cation and adjust the sensor offset values as required on the [Sensor] menu.
Menu item Description
[Offset]
[HDG]
Offset the heading angle. When the heading angle is skewed right,
enter a negative value. When the heading angle is skewed left, en-
ter a positive value.
[Pitch] Offset the pitch angle.
[Roll] Offset the roll angle.
[SOG/3-Axis
Speed] Offset the speed value.
[Air Pressure] Offset the air pressure value.
[Air Temperature] Offset the air temperature value.
[Smoothing]
[SOG/COG]
Set the time delay (smoothing) for SOG/COG data output.
[3-Axis Speed] Set the time delay (smoothing) for 3-Axis Speed data output.
[ROT] Set the time delay (smoothing) for ROT data output.
[DR Time]
[DR Time]
When the SCX-20 cannot receive the signal from the satellite, the
SCX-20 continues to output heading data as “dead reckoning” for
the time set here. If the signal from the satellite cannot be retrieved
with in the time set here, the SCX-20 stops outputting the heading
data.
[Ship Size, ANT/CALC-SPD Position]
Enter the appropriate value according to the ship’s size,
to improve the accuracy
of the 3-axis speed . The reference position for installation location and calculating po-
sition of the 3-axis speed is shown in the following figure:
[Ship’s Width] Set the ship’s width, calculated from the port-side to starboard-side
of the widest section of the vessel (Setting range: 1.0 to 999.9 m).
[Ship’s Length] Set the ship’s length, calculated to the bow-tip to the stern, along
the center of the vessel (Setting range: 1.0 to 999.9 m).
[Ship’s Height] Set the ship’s height, calculated to the bottom of the keel to the top
f the mast (Setting range: 1.0 to 199.9 m).
