Static Heading
On start up, the static heading value defaults
to 000.0. As a Static Site may operate
without compass input, the heading value is always displayed as green
(valid).
To obtain correct orientation of a static site picture in North Up the true
bearing at which the heading line is pointing needs to be entered.
Any heading marker offset for a transceiver will also affect this setting and
will consequently also need adjusting. For details see Chapter 2
`
Diagnostics, Commissioning and Service Mode ’ section 3.3 `TCVR
Settings’, in the Ships Manual, Vol 2.
A heading value may be entered manually. To enter a heading bearing:
1. Right click on the HDG Sensor Data
Display in the top left of the screen and
tick
Select HDG Source.. The Heading
Sensor window appears.
2. Click on the Static heading button, which
shows the current value in white. An `Action Required' window
opens.
3. The `Action Required' window prompts to
enter a bearing. Either move the trackball
left or right to scroll to the correct value and
then left click. Or, enter the bearing value
using the drop down keypad, click
OK when
complete.
The manually entered heading is saved in system
memory and will persist when the system is re-
started.
Heading Line
A heading line representing the bearing can be temporarily
displayed by clicking and holding down on the
HL button
on the upper toolbar, next to the Static Heading. The heading line is
removed from the screen when the button (left or right) is released.
