distance from starting line viewable in meters (“Mt”), lenght
(“Lenght”), miles (“Miles”), or in Kilometers (“Kmeter”);
o
Compass offset: it’s a kind of
magnetic variation;
o
Head Average sec:
constitutes a
kind
of
damping
for
the
transmission
of
compass
direction: it’s usually a good
parameter when set to 5 or 6;
o
Speed Average sec: constitutes
a kind of damping for the
transmission of boat speed: it’s usually a good parameter when set
to 3 or 4;
o
Time Zone Offset Hour: sets the current time zone;
o
Boat Dim unit: setting the length of the boat in centimeters ("cm"),
meters ("mt") or feet (feet ");
o
Boat Len: setting of the boat length;
o
J Len: setting of the “J” length (measure from the bow to the front of
the mast) if the instrument is held to the mast or the distance from
the bow to the position of the instrument or of the crew member
which takes the tool to the forearm, so that the tool can calculate
this distance above all to correctly display the distance and the time
from the starting line;
START MENU’ – “NAVIGATION”:
This
menu
represents a kind of
shortcut that can
anticipate the times
to go to the “Race”
menu, as follows,
and specifically to
the function "Waip" where you can set the race marks.
START MENU’ – “RACE”:
This
menu
introduces
us
to
all the
informations we wish to receive during a
race; SailBrain was designed so that the
exposed functions of the menu have a logical
and sequential sense according to the usual
procedures to make a race.
Therefore in this menu will appear the following functions:
•
PRE-RACE:
This menu allows you to set the extremes of the starting line.
With SailBrain you can easily do it because when you approach, at
constant
speed
and
always coming
from down of
the
starting
line, to the left
extreme of the
starting
line,
you have just
click on the "Start Left" function and when you approach, always at
constant speed and always coming from down of the starting line, to the
right extreme of the starting line, you have just click on the "Start Right"
function.
SailBrain presents a big particularity compared to competing tools: if
during the starting procedure one of the two extremes of the starting line
will move, it will be sufficient resets only the end that has changed its
position and NOT THE ALL STARTING LINE.
ATTENTION: DETECTION OF THE ENDS OF THE STARTING LINE
MUST BE SELECTED WHEN IT IS THE INSTRUMENT TO BE
ALONGSIDE THE MARK AND THE RACE COMMITTEE AND NOT
WHEN THE BOW IS ALONGSIDE THEM.
Only for this function and timer function (shown below) you can exit from
this menu only selecting the desired function (Start left or Start right) or
by pressing Esc (there is no automatic exit from menu after 5 seconds of
not using).
