How to set the damping interval for wind data
You can set the damping interval for wind data to compensate for random fluctuation
in wind data. The higher the setting the more “smooth” the data. However, a high
damping interval causes delay in receiving wind data; the amount of delay equivalent
to the damping interval. Turn off wind damping if the wind data is received stably.
The port and starboard wind angles must be 55° or higher and the [MODE TYPE] must
be selected to [AWA] to use this function.
1. Press the MENU key to open the menu.
2. Rotate the Course control knob to select the current setting for [WIND DAMP-
ING] then push the knob.
3. Rotate the Course control knob to select [ON] then push the knob.
4. Rotate the Course control knob to select the current wind damping interval then
push the knob.
5. Rotate the Course control knob to set the interval then push the knob. The set-
ting range is 0.7 to 99 (sec.). See the table below for wind angle and wind damping
interval.
6. Press the MENU key to close the menu.
