Offset Source:
The Offset Source can be chosen from the list of offsets for the vehicle, or the
Manual Entry can be used.
Manual Offsets:
If Manual Entry is chosen under the Offset Source, the offsets must be input
here. Offsets are input similar to all offsets in WinFrog.
CONFIGURATION DETAILS:
Interfacing to the DP system should only be performed under the supervision of the
vessels’ electrician or other qualified person as designated by the Captain. After
interfacing, all systems should be thoroughly checked prior to operation. First check that
the correct data is being output from WinFrog, and then check for the input at the DP
system.
Data Output:
The output to the Simrad 301 is binary (BCD), and therefore looks like the following
string when output to a Terminal Program.

´ Q x¯ „bIè ł ´
´ Q x¯ ¯ „bIé ł ´
´ Q x¯ ¯ „bIé ł ´
´ Q x¯ ¯ „bPé ł
´
´ Q x¯ „bPè ł ´
´ Q x¯ „bPè ł ´
´ Q x¯ „bPè ł ´
´ Q x¯ ¯ „bPé
After ensuring that there is something exiting from WinFrog, the data should be
checked at the DP system.
