5.8 HALCYON 2000 COMPASS
The Halcyon 2000 Compass is a high performance electronic transmitting
compass connected to your Hydra 2000. Heading information may be
selected for display on any of the FFDs or on a Halcyon Display. Moving
card type analogue indicators are available as an option.
The Halcyon 2000 software allows the compass to compensate for the
magnetic fields in the vessel that may cause deviation errors. These errors
can be reduced significantly by following the Calibration procedure
described in Part 3.

HALCYON DISPLAY
The Halcyon Display is a dedicated electronic compass display which may
be connected to your Hydra 2000 System in a similar manner to an FFD. The
display provides clear and accurate digital indication of compass heading
information together with a bar graph indicating port and starboard off-course
error relative to a set course. The display area is split into three. The three
large digits in the upper left part always show compass heading.
A bar graph indicator, below the compass heading display, will show
deviation from the set course as segments of bar graph to the left or right of
the zero centreline. This provides an immediate indication of the vessel
being off-course to port or starboard. This off course value is also shown
numerically below this display.
Four rows of text are provided down the right-hand side of the display. Each
row is associated with the adjacent key and indicates the selected operating
function and the various settings.
