2.10.12 Sea Temperature
Menu Heading: TEMP
Function Text: SEA TEMP
Update Rate: Once per second
Units: Degrees Centigrade, Fahrenheit
1. Notes
Requires temperature sensor.
2. Audible high/low alarm available.
Knowledge of sea temperature is useful on long voyages when
ocean currents are determined by changes in water temperature.
Temperature can also be useful when in the vicinity of river outlets.
The changes in temperature between fresh and sea water can
provide knowledge of favourable currents.
2.10.13 Speed Over Ground
Menu Heading: WAYPOINT
Function Text: SPD O/G
Update Rate: Provided by position fixer
Units: Knots
Note
Speed Over Ground input is available from the position fixing system.
Comparing the speed over ground to the speed through the water is
useful in strong tidal waters. It is also useful at night when the only
indication of tide change is the comparison of speed over the ground
and speed through the water.
2.10.14 Stored Log
Menu Heading: LOG
Function Text: STD LOG
Update Rate: Once per second
Units: Nautical miles
The stored log runs continually, and is always available as an
accumulative total of the mileage run. The stored log is not
changeable; the Trip Log is used for this purpose.
Normally the Log function displays nautical miles to two decimal
places, i.e. 99.99nm (maximum). One press of the Enter Key
expands the display to 0099nm giving a maximum available display
of 9999nm if required.
