MARK Menu

This menu sets measuring conditions for tide vector and target

point mark.

PRESET REFERENCE VALUE: Sets the effect of tide on the

target point mark. The higher the figure, the greater the effect

of tide.

TIDE HISTORY: Sets tide vector plotting interval, among 0

(turns off tide vector display), 15 sec. (1/4 min.), 1 min., 5 min.,

10 min., 30 min., and 60 min.

AVR Menu

The AVR (Averaging) sets averaging time for measuring raw

speed, tide and water tracking data, to smooth out random

variation of data.

SHIP SPD AVR: Raw speed data (from connected sensor) may

change randomly due to receiving conditions, etc. If speed data

varies greatly increase speed averaging. Speed averaging is

available in times of 15 sec., 30 sec., 60 sec., and 90 sec. The

default setting is 15 sec., which is suitable for most conditions.

TIDE AVERAGE: Direction and speed of a tide changes with

time, place and depth. Therefore it is important that the current

indicator not respond to quickly or too slowly to tide movement.

Tide averaging time is available between 0 and 5 minutes in

the nearest minute. (“0” is for use of raw tide data.) In most

cases “2 min.” provides excellent results. Too high a setting

may prevent detection of rapid changes in tide movement, such

as a current rip.

WT SPD DEPTH: Sets measuring depth of water speed in the

water tracking mode. The default setting is two meters, and it is

suitable for most conditions. Change the setting when water

tracking speed display becomes unstable (due to air bubbles,

etc.), or to measure water tracking speed at a given depth.
