2.16 Instruments calibration
2.16.1 Introduction
Accurate and realistic data requires good calibration of the sensors. Without
calibration you will not get accurate data for true wind direction, true wind speed,
measured drift,...
Poor calibration will produce mistakes that will affect your tactical decisions.
It is recommended to proceed to calibration in moderate wind conditions and steady
water. Better results can be achieved when there is no current in the sailing area
being used for calibration.
2.16.2 Calibrations order
Check and calibrate the primary sensors before filling the true wind correction tables:
o
Compass
o
Speed sensor
o
Heel angle sensor
Here is the order in which the primary sensors need calibration:
For sensor calibration, see the “Sensors setting” section.
