1.5 Motion Sensor MS-100 (option)
The MS-100 measures ship’s pitching and rolling angles with sensor using the principles of the
gyroscope. The MS-100 is free from error caused by ship’s vertical and horizontal motion.
Therefore, it can be installed at any convenient location. However, ship’s semi-permanent
inclination due to loading imbalance cannot be detected. Compensate for this as described in
Chapter 3.
