9 Wind functions
9.1 WIND Main-function
Apparent wind angle (AWA), true wind angle (TWA) 000° - 359°,
apparent wind speed (AWS) or true wind speed (TWS):
The main-function WIND, allows you to display wind angle or wind
speed, true or apparent. The wind angle is indicated by a symbol
to the right of the wind angle value:
= Wind from port side.
= Wind from starboard side.
The type of wind true or apparent, is indicated by a letter:
= Apparent wind .
= True wind.
The selection of apparent (AWA) or true (TWA) wind angle in the
main function also controls what is displayed on the optional
analogue wind instrument (art. no 20550-1).
When the instrument is delivered, the factory setting for the main
function is apparent wind angle (AWA). (See 12.5, C51 and C63).
9.2 WIND Sub-functions
9.2.1 APPARENT WIND SPEED (AWS)
Units displayed in m/s (m/s), knots (KTS) or Beaufort (BF), (see
12.5, C52). The function alternates between (AWS) and the
selected (units).
9.2.2 TRUE WIND ANGLE (TWA)
This function requires a log transducer. The complimenting function
to what is displayed in the main function is displayed.
If the main function is set to display apparent wind angle (AWA),
the true wind angle (TWA) will be displayed here.
If the main-function is set to display true wind angle (TWA), the
apparent wind angle (AWA) will be displayed here.
If the main-function is set to display apparent wind speed (AWS),
apparent wind angle (AWA) will be displayed here.
If the main-function is set to display true wind speed (TWS), true
wind angle (TWA) will be displayed here.
