Filter remote heave for relative zero position

 

When using Remote Heave and Lever Arm distances the Remote Heave calculation will use the 
distance and angles for the new Heave measurement point. A static vessel/Motion Sensor angle will 
result in a heave offset, Eg the heave will not be centered around 0. 
 
SMC has added a filter to remove a fixed angle offset of the vessel from the remote heave output. 
This is selected from the checkbox 

Filter remote heave for relative zero position

. Unless Filter 

remote heave for relative zero position is checked, setting a Remote Heave or Lever Arm distance on 
any axis, will result in a heave that is not 

centered

 at 0 when the vessel is not levelled. 

 

Note

: that remote heave calculations will not be as accurate as heave at the physical location of the 

Motion Sensor as the remote heave is a combined calculation of heave and angle from a remote 
location. The calculation assumes that the vessel is rigid. If the remote heave distance is far from the 
physical location of the Motion Sensor, any small angular error, from flexing hulls etc. may generate 
a significant error in the remote heave output.  
 
Lever Arm and Remote Heave distances must not exceed 50m.

REMOTE HEAVE 

 
The remote heave function calculates the heave and the heave velocity output of the IMU from its 
physical location to a remote location.  
 
Remote Heave moves the heave and heave velocity calculation position 

only 

and not the virtual 

position for all other calculations. To move the calculation point for all measurement values please 
see the Lever Arm chapter.
