• Source of True wind (Setting for inputted serial data)
• Display format (Relative wind, true wind)
• Output format to TT (output format to TT)
The tables that follow describe the above-mentioned parameters. Greyed options are default settings.
Source of true wind
Option Description
Receive (R)elative/Apparent Wind and Calculate True
Wind
R(Relative) is extracted from the MWV sentence, read
as Apparent data and North and Theoretical are
calculated.
Receive (T)heoretical Wind(HDG) and Calculate True
Wind
T(True) is extracted from the MWV sentence, read as
Theoretical data and North and Apparent are calculated.
Receiver (T)rue Wind(North) and use it directly T(True) is extracted from the MWV sentence, read as
North data and Apparent and Theoretical are calculated.
