B&G H2000 Pilot *DISCONTINUED* - Manual (Page 73)

HB-0845-06 73
The damping on this function is adjustable and can be
important. In rapidly changing tidal situations you need to
lower the damping down as far as possible to be able to see
the changes quickly. Conversely, in a steady tide or current
the longer the period over which the calculation is averaged,
the more accurate the results will be.
The lag in the position fixer's ability to adjust to rapid
changes in direction, such as when tacking, should also be
borne in mind when considering the results of this function.
Frequent tacking produces figures that are unreliable and
should be treated with caution.
