Tide set and rate
The system calculates current fl ow by comparing the Boat Speed and Course (which are
measured relative to the water) to the ground referenced data (SOG and COG) from a GPS.
This calculation therefore includes all water motion including both tides and permanent
currents.
As the calculation utilizes the Course function its accuracy can be enhanced by the use of a
Heel Angle sensor and accurate Leeway calibration.
¼ Note:
If your position fi xer sends magnetic bearing, check that the variation is correctly
entered (or calculated) in the position fi xer.
Importantly the damping on this function is adjustable, in rapidly changing tidal situations
you need to lower the damping down as far as possible to be able to see the changes quickly.
However in stable conditions, probably off shore, averaging the data over a longer time will
normally give a more stable, accurate fi gure. In addition note that particularly frequent
manoeuvring can produce unreliable fi gures due to the lag in update from position fi xing
devices.
