be altered. The speed calibration process provides a method for the actual STW reading produced by
the DST100 to be adjusted within the DSM410 (i.e., calibration data is not stored within the DST100).
WARNING: Unlike resetting the trip log and setting the depth offset, which actually programs
the DST100 so that all displays receive the same information, speed calibration must be
performed at individual displays in order to show calibrated speed through water.

Transducer Depth Offset
The DSM410 can set the transducer depth offset parameter in a DST100 depth/speed/temperature
transducer. If you are interested in the actual water depth (as opposed to the depth beneath the keel),
then you should program a positive value equal to the distance from the waterline to the depth of the
DST100. The DSM410 will then add the measured depth of the water (as seen by the DST100) to the
programmed offset value to produce the total water depth. If you are interested in the depth of water
beneath the keel, then you should program a negative value equal to the distance between the
DST100 and the bottom of the keel. The display will then subtract the programmed offset from the
measured depth of the water (as seen by the DST100) showing you the depth of water beneath the
keel.
You program the transducer depth offset by pressing the
Enter
key (
) with the “Transducer Depth
Offset:” menu item selected which results in the screen shown in Figure 79.

. Once you have selected the desired offset, push the
Enter
key (
) to complete
the transducer depth offset calibration. This procedure actually programs the offset value into the
DST100 such that all displays subsequently receive the offset information. T
his means you don’t have
to program multiple displays each with the corresponding offset information as the information is
stored at a single place (at the source).
6.10.5
Trip Log
The DSM410 is capable of clearing the trip log counter within a DST100 depth/speed/temperature
transducer. You zero the trip log by pressing the Enter key (
) with the “Trip Log:” menu item
selected which results in the screen shown in Figure 80. Pressing the
Accept
(
) key while the
