Sensors Menu
The Sensors menu allows the operator to select the sensor source to be
used for each type of data (e.g. heading, water speed, position etc.). In
addition to the selection of a sensor source, adjustments to the heading
alignment can be made at the Heading sensor, and an offset position can
be applied to a Position sensor.
In a multi-node system, in order to apply a consistent common reference
system, all nodes use the same sensor for each type of sensor data
(position, heading, water speed, ground speed, etc.), regardless of the
node from which the operator makes the selection. As an example, if the
operator selects position from GPS1 on one node, GPS1 is selected as the
source of position on all nodes.
All Radar systems include the same set of primary sensors; these are listed
in `Primary Sensors on Radar Systems’.
If for any reason a sensor is not providing usable data an alert will be
raised and the data displayed in red.
If automatic sensor data is unavailable manually entered values may
sometimes be used in place, subject to certain restrictions.
CAUTION: MANUAL SENSOR DATA
Using manual data is not the normal mode of operation. A sensor
device should be selected as soon as valid data is available.
To access the sensor source for the data types on the Sensor Data Display
right click on one of the four fields and left click on the
Select nnn source
line. A window for the selected data type appears
below the data display listing the available sensor
data sources with the currently active sensor
source and its value in highlight.
To access the Sensors menu from the main menu
list:
1. Left click on the Sensors field in the main
menu list.
2. With the Sensors menu displayed, click on
the specific sensor source button.
