Setting REF
On
will show a reference pointer in the true direction
as a steer indicator in the Compass graphical mode. When
set
to
OFF
, no reference indicator will be visible. When the indicator is
activated and a MEM course is set, this pointer will slowly ”blink”
and when overlapping your Compass pointer, you are on course.

C17 ”Knock Timer” KTR
This is a race sailing function that will help you to decide when to
tack. When activated, a ”knock timer” will pop up when you are
sailing lower than the ”knock angle”. When the ”knock angle” is set
to 00 it is OFF.
Example, when KTR is set to 15
°
and you are ”knocked” i.e. sailing
15
°
lower than the ”reference set” course for more than 5 seconds,
a timer will pop up, telling you the elapsed time spent at ”knocked”
angle. Also read chapter 4.5.3 Tactical use of MEM.

C22 Calibration of log transducer
Calibration value for speed and distance (1.00 - 1.99).
Drive the boat a measured distance at normal speed.
Compare the distance with the trip counter.
Calculate the value with the following formula.
True distance from the sea chart:
T
Log trip counter distance:
L
The current calibration value:
C
New calibration value:
N
If you suspect a current in the water, drive the boat in both
directions and divide trip counter distance by two.
If the Compass Data is installed with NX2 Server where the log
is already calibrated, no further calibration is needed.
