Setting up the interface for course gyro input
In order to operate correctly, the MF90 system requires input from a course gyro. In most
cases a suitable course gyro is already installed on the vessel. A global positioning system
(GPS) with a compatible output format can also be used. To select which sensors to install,
use the
Sensor Installation
page. The current heading is shown on the top bar if you have
enabled this in the
Display Options
dialog box.
