Figure 173 – SSC200 Magnetic Deviation Calibration Progress Screen
This progress screen shows the number of circles completed, the current heading, the current rate of
turn, and the current status of compass calibration. If you do not wish to continue magnetic deviation
calibration at this time, press Abort ( ), and the currently stored deviation tables will be retained.
Once calibration is successful, a completion screen will appear. If calibration is unsuccessful, a
screen will appear indicating this, and you should repeat the calibration procedure.
6.22.6 Magnetic Deviation Status
Pressing the Enter key ( ) with the “Magnetic Variation Status…” menu item selected causes the
screen shown in Figure 174 to be displayed.

6.22.7 Rate of Turn Damping Period
The SSC200 is capable of transmitting the rate of turn of a vessel. Different applications may require
different damping for the rate of turn measurement. The DSM250 may be used to set the damping
period for the rate of turn measurement to anywhere between 0.1 seconds and 60 seconds. Figure
175 shows an example of the damping period set to 2 seconds.
