•

Wind Setting for wind speed in knots. This will have a direct effect on the vessel. In Joystick manual mode wind force
will cause the vessel to drift off. This will also be shown on the MAP screen and will also show the speed the vessel
will drift.

•

Wind angle setting determines in which direction the wind blows. This will have a direct effect on the vessel.

•

Wind rotate option will disregard the set wind angle and makes the wind rotate 360° around the vessel.

•

Wind variation in speed and direction will change the wind force and direction with a sinus like motion over time. The
setting makes the maximum deviation from the set wind force and set wind direction.

•

Current speed and direction setting determines the water speed in knots. This will directly affect the force on the
vessel, making it drift in the direction of the current.

•

Wave settings can adjust wave height in meters and wave period in seconds. Wave force is calculated depending on
wind speed combined with current speed.

2.3.8.2 Setting GPS in Simulation mode

The settings for two simulated GPS sensors can be set to change the Position Sensor behavior.

Figure 43: GPS Simulation Mode

Double click on the (yellow) number to change the following settings:

•

Error X, in surge / length direction.

•

Error Y, in sway / sideways direction.

•

Error Z, in height / elevation.

2.3.8.3 Setting Laser or Radar in Simulation Mode

NOT YET APPLICABLE

2.4 Operational Usage

This chapter explains how to change the most important settings used in combination with the Joystick, Auto Heading
and Auto position mode.

Note  All settings have numbers colored in yellow, and can be edited by double clicking on the number.

2.4.1 Screen Selection

The AlphaDynaPos system has many different screens to display various information, and allows the user to input
commands and settings. The screens can be displayed by using the Tracker Ball and click on a tab button at the top of
the large screen.

For example:

Press MAP tab at the top left of the screen to select the MAP screen:
 

 

The MAP screen loads, and the Tab button will display in selected color.
