The Halcyon 2000 Compass has the ability to ‘learn’ the magnetic effect of
the vessel on the compass and automatically apply deviation correction.
1.3.7
Halcyon Gyro Stabilised Compass
The Halcyon Gyro Stabilised Compass (HGSC) is a high performance, solid
state compass that provides the best available heading information through
the use of rate gyros to correct for the motion of your yacht. It also provides
high accuracy Heel and Trim. It interfaces to Hercules, Hydra and HS 2000
instruments via the Halcyon Gyro Processor that transmits this information to
the B&G Fastnet Network.
The HGSC is an easily calibrated compass that ‘learns’ the magnetic effects
of your vessel on the compass and automatically applies the deviation
correction.

Additional Sensors
Additional sensors provide either single inputs, or improve the accuracy of
other functions on the system and they are discussed in Part 5 - Options.

DISPLAYS
1.4.1
NMEA Full Function Display (FFD)
This is the standard system display and every Hydra 2000 must contain one
NMEA FFD. The Standard FFDs and the other display types, described in
this Section, are options with which the system can be expanded and made
even more powerful.
The FFD's name gives an indication to the fact that they are really much
more than just a display. It is a terminal for the whole system, allowing you to
control everything from the functions displayed on them (and at the 20/20’s)
to the calibration of the system.
The FFD simultaneously displays two functions. Any system function can be
called up on any FFD and can be placed on the system, all with full control of
the Hydra 2000.
The NMEA FFD contains a NMEA interface which allows your Hydra 2000
System to be connected to devices such as position fixers, autopilots, chart
