Measured sources
Measured sources allows the user to have a two boat speed sources and two wind sensor
sources active on the network at the same time. The CPU will automatically switch between
them giving more accurate data from tack to tack.
Dual Boat speed
Set the quantity and type of boat speed sensor via the measured sources menu. After setting
the number and type of sensor ensure they are calibrated correctly. Follow the standard boat
speed calibration procedure for each sensor Port & Starboard.
¼ Note:
These options can be set via the H5000 Calibration menu on a compatible B&G Multi
Function Display (MFD)
Switching between boat speed sensors
The CPU can handle sensor switching in a variety of diff erent ways. Change this setting via the
Switch dialog in the boat speed calibration menu.
Switch option Description
MWA
Uses the Measured Wind Angle (MWA) to determine the current tack
Port tack Use starboard sensor
Starboard tack Use port sensor
Heel
Uses the heel of the vessel to determine whether to use the port or
starboard sensor. A heel sensor is required for this option
MWA Heel
If the measured wind angle is less than 90º the CPU will use heel to
determine whether to use the port or starboard sensor. If the MWA is
greater than 90º the CPU will use the MWA to determine whether to
use the port or starboard sensor.
Port Port sensor only
Starboard Starboard sensor only
