7.4.3.11 PS Ram
This setting defines if compass data should be used to compensate the “Contouring Error” inside the
AU.
Fast changes of the ship’s course can lead to a “Contouring Error” of the bearing indication, when the
direction, shown on the bearing page, changes slowly compared to the vessel’s direction change. The
reason is the averaging procedure of the phase summator inside the antenna unit.
If an external compass is connected, the bearing value determination can be done by a special,
improved compensating procedure (the “PS Ram compensation”), which eliminates the contouring
error. For a compass of minor quality (e.g. heavy and quick variations) it may be necessary, to switch
off the “PS Ram compensation”.
o
To open the dialog for the “PS Ram” handling, press button “OK” or hotkey “Edit Value”, while
the line “PS Ram” is marked.
