Data Source
The currently selected sensor from which the readout is taken (e.g. GPS,
Gyro etc.).
Stabilisation Options
There are two stabilisation modes for target tracking, ground and water
referenced. The HDG and STW field block indicates water stabilisation and
the COG/SOG field block indicates ground stabilisation.
To toggle between the two stabilisation modes either click anywhere within
the two field blocks on the sensor data display, or right click on the display
and select from the drop down list (the current stabilisation mode is shown
ticked). The selected block is highlighted and sensor data is extracted
based on the stabilisation mode selected.
Dual Node Support
In a dual-node system, a single node may be responsible for interfacing
with a device that provides a particular sensor’s data. Regardless of which
node is serving in this role, the system makes the sensor data available to
all nodes of the system, providing the same indication of selected sensor
source for each data type.
