3.5.3 Heel and Trim angle with the Halcyon Gyro Stabilised Compass.

The heel and trim information from the Halcyon Gyro Stabilised Compass is
displayed in the PERFORM menu.

The H symbol will be placed on left indicating heel to port and on the right for
heel to starboard. The display will always be shown to 1 decimal point

The U symbol on the left indicates that the bow is up, while a d will be shown
indicating bow down. The display will always be shown to 1 decimal point

Both heel and trim have an offset calibration to allow for any constant errors,
adding or subtracting from CAL VAL 1 will correct this.

If you have heel and trim sensors connected to your system as well as a
Halcyon Gyro Stabilised Compass then the Heel and Trim from the
Compass will be used by default. If you wish to use your external sensors
then set CAL VAL 2 to ‘0’.

TRUE WIND CORRECTION


It is finally time to go sailing and begin the calibration of the True Wind
Speed and Direction. But before we begin the 'how' a short discussion of the
'why' is worthwhile.
