Conning View
The Conning Display is a unique analogue display which
shows overlapping vectors for Heading (course through the
water), Course Over the Ground (COG), Set (a combination of
leeway and tide) and wind. All of these vectors are displayed
relative to the current heading, which is displayed in digital
form at the top of the screen.
Heading is shown as a single headed arrow; Course Over the
Ground (COG) is shown as a double headed arrow, and Set is
shown as a triple headed arrow - in the familiar manner. The
wind vector displays variable tail patterns according to the
strength of the wind. It follows the usual meteorological wind
symbol rules: 5 kts per half feather, 10 kts per full feather, 50
kts per triangle. Computed Set and Drift and other related
parameters are shown in digital form at the bottom of the
screen.
To take into account various sea states, variable damping levels may be selected by pressing
Damping Softkey 2. The currently selected level is shown in the top right hand corner of the
display. The damping level can be None, Low, Medium or High. The damping level affects
COG, SOG, Heading and Water Speed and Set and Drift readings.
The UP and DOWN keys have no function in this View.
