 viiiFOREWORD A Word to the Owner of the Model 1800C/1900C Series Marine Radar, GD-1900C Color Video Plotter FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for purchasing the Model 1800C/1900C Series Marine Radar, GD-1900C Color Video Plotter. We are confident you will discover why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.  For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality and reliability throughout the world. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.  Your equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless properly installed and maintained. Please carefully read and follow the operation and maintenance procedures set forth in this manual.  We would appreciate feedback from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our purposes.  Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO.  The example screens shown in this manual may not match the screens you see on your display. The screen you see depends on your system configuration and equipment settings.  Note: SBAS is currently in the developmental phase and SBAS providers are expected to have initial operations capability as shown below. During the developmental phase the accuracy, integrity, continuity, or availability of the SBAS signal cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, any position data should be verified against other sources to confirm reliability. WAAS (N. America): Wide Area Augmentation System, 2003 EGNOS (Europe): European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service, 2004 MSAS (Japan): MTSAT Satellite based Augmentation System, 2005  WAAS, available in North America, is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) navigation system. SBAS provides GPS signal corrections to SBAS users, for even better position accuracy, typically better than three meters. Two more SBAS providers are also currently under development, MSAS (Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System) for Japan and EGNOS (Euro Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) for Europe. All providers will be compatible with one another, thus providing “seamless” position fixes to SBAS users. For coverage area, see “SBAS Coverage Area” in the Appendix. Unless otherwise noted, this manual uses “WAAS” when referring to any SBAS provider.
  ix  Features The 1800C/1900C series of radars and video plotters work within our new product-network system called the “NavNet.” Each product has an IP address to communicate with NavNet compatible products within the network, using TCP/IP protocol through an Ethernet 10BASE-T network.  The main features are as follows:  •  The 1800C/1900C series of radars and video plotters consists of the following models: Model Output Range Radar Antenna Marine Radar Model 1823C  2 kW  24 nm  1.5 ft Radome Marine Radar Model 1833C    4 kW  36 nm  2 ft Radome Marine Radar Model 1933C    4 kW  48 nm  3.5 ft Open Marine Radar Model 1943C    6 kW  64 nm  4 ft Open Marine Radar Model 1953C  12 kW  72 nm  4/6 ft, Open Color Video Plotter GD-1900C    —  —  — •  Bright 10.4” screen visible even under direct sunlight. •  User friendly operation with combination of discrete keys, soft keys, alphanumeric keys and trackball. •  Accepts FURUNO and Nav-charts™ (NAVIONICS) charts, or C-MAP charts, depending on specification.   •  Fast chart redraw. •  Built-in NavNet interface circuit board. •  Video input (video recorder, CCD device, etc.) available with installation of optional PIP Board. •  12-channel GPS Receiver GP-310B with highly accurate position fixing optionally available, GP-320B with WAAS capability. •  User programmable function keys. •  Video sounder picture available with connection of the optional Network Sounder ETR-6/10N.
 xSYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS All NavNet products incorporate a “network circuit board” to integrate each NavNet product on board through an optional LAN cable (Ethernet 10BASE-T). Each NavNet product is assigned an IP address to enable transfer of images between other NavNet products. For example, video plotter pictures can be transferred to a radar and vice versa. Pictures received via the NavNet may be adjusted at the receiving end.  A NavNet system may consist of up to four display units and one network sounder. For a system incorporating three or more products, a “hub” is required to process data.

It works in a manner similar to that of volume control of a broadcast receiver, which amplifies received signals.  The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen. If your gain setting is too low, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand, excessive gain yields too much background noise; strong targets may be missed because of the poor contrast between desired echoes and the background noise on the display.  To adjust the receiver sensitivity, transmit on long range, and then do the following:

2. RADAR OPERATION    2-42.5  Reducing Sea Clutter 2.5.1  How the A/C SEA works Echoes from waves can be troublesome, covering the central part of the display with random signals known as “sea clutter”. The higher the waves and the higher the antenna above the water, the further the clutter will extend. Sea clutter may affect radar performance because real targets are sometimes hidden by the echoes of small waves. (See the left-hand figure in the figure below.) When sea clutter masks the picture, adjust the A/C SEA to reduce the clutter.  The A/C SEA reduces the amplification of echoes at short ranges (where clutter is the greatest) and progressively increases amplification as the range increases, so amplification will be normal at those ranges where there is no sea clutter.   A/C SEA adjusted;sea clutter suppressedSea clutter atscreen center Effect of A/C SEA 2.5.2 Adjusting the A/C SEA A/C SEA should be adjusted so that the clutter is broken up into small dots, and small targets become distinguishable.  1.

Press the [GAIN] key on the front panel or RETURN soft key to finish.     2.6  Reducing Precipitation Clutter The vertical beamwidth of the antenna is designed to see surface targets even when the ship is rolling. However, by this design the unit will also detect precipitation clutter (rain, snow, hail, etc.) in the same manner as normal targets. Precipitation clutter shows as random dots on the screen.  2.6.1 Adjusting the A/C RAIN When echoes from precipitation mask solid targets, adjust the A/C RAIN to split up these unwanted echoes into a speckled pattern, making recognition of solid targets easier.  1.

2. RADAR OPERATION    2-262.19 Echo Stretch Normally, the reflected echoes from long range targets appear on the display as weaker and smaller blips even though they are compensated by the radar’s internal circuitry. The echo stretch function magnifies these small blips in all ranges. Two types of echo stretch are available: ES LOW which stretches echoes in bearing direction and ES HIGH which stretches them in both range and bearing directions. "LOW" Echo stretch         "HIGH" Echo stretchBearingdirection BearingdirectionRangedirection Echo Stretch OFFTarget Types of echo stretch This function magnifies not only targets but also sea clutter and radar interference.

2. RADAR OPERATION    2-272.20 Echo Averaging  The echo average feature, which requires a Model 1800/1900 series network radar, effectively suppresses sea clutter. Echoes received from stable targets such as ships appear on the screen at almost the same position during every rotation of the antenna. On the other hand, unstable echoes such as sea clutter appear at random positions.  To distinguish real target echoes from sea clutter, echo average performs scan-to-scan correlation. Correlation is made by storing and averaging echo signals over successive picture frames. If an echo is solid and stable, it is presented in its normal intensity. Sea clutter is averaged over successive scans resulting in the reduced brilliance, making it easier to discriminate real targets from sea clutter.  To properly use the echo average function, it is recommended to first suppress sea clutter with the A/C SEA control and then do the following:  1.  If not displayed, press the [HIDE/SHOW] key to display the radar soft keys. 2.  Press the SIGNAL PROC. soft key. 3.  Press the E. AVG soft key to select desired echo averaging.

2. RADAR OPERATION    2-342.26  ARP, TTM Operation When the radar source is an ARP-equipped Model 1800/1900 series network radar, you can manually and automatically acquire and track ten targets. Once a target is acquired automatically or manually it is automatically tracked within 0.1 to 32 nm. If the FURUNO heading sensor PG-1000 is used, the data sentence “RMC” is necessary.  Alternatively, you can display the tracks of other ships by receiving the data sentence TTM (Tracked Target Message) via the NETWORK or NMEA port on the display unit. However, targets cannot be acquired.  Note: When using your unit as remote display, you cannot change the range of the main radar at the remote display. For the target acquisition, set the range individually.   Usage precautions for ARP WARNINGNo one navigational aid should be relied upon for the safety of vessel and crew.The navigator has the responsibility tocheck all aids available to confirmposition. Electronic aids are nota substitute for basic navigationalprinciples and common sense.• This auto plotter automatically tracks an   automatically or manually acquired radar   target and calculates its course and   speed, indicating them by a vector. Since   the data generated by the auto plotter   are based on what radar targets are   selected, the radar must always be   optimally tuned for use with the auto   plotter, to ensure required targets will not   be lost or unwanted targets such as sea   returns and noise will not be acquired   and tracked.• A target does not always mean a land-  mass, reef, ships or other surface vessels  but can imply returns from sea surface  and clutter. As the level of clutter changes  with environment, the operator should  properly adjust the A/C SEA, A/C RAIN  and GAIN controls to be sure target  echoes are not eliminated from the  radar screen. CAUTIONThe plotting accuracy and response ofthis auto plotter meets IMO standards.Tracking accuracy is affected by thefollowing:• Tracking accuracy is affected by course   change. One to two minutes is required to   restore vectors to full accuracy after an   abrupt course change. (The actual   amount depends on gyrocompass   specifications.)• The amount of tracking delay is inversely   proportional to the relative speed of the   target. Delay is on the order of 15-30   seconds for high relative speed; 30-60   seconds for low relative speed.Display accuracy is affected by thefollowing:• Echo intensity• Radar transmission pulsewidth• Radar bearing error• Gyrocompass error• Course change (own ship or target)

2. RADAR OPERATION    2-422.26.8  CPA/TCPA alarm (ARP) When the predicted CPA of any target becomes smaller than a preset CPA alarm range or its predicted TCPA less than a preset TCPA alarm limit, an audio alarm sounds and the speaker icon appears (in red). In addition, the target plot symbol of the offending target changes to a triangle and flashes together with its vector. You may silence the audio alarm with the [CLEAR] key. Press the [ALARM] key and the message “COLLISION ALARM” appears. Press the CLEAR ALARM soft key to acknowledge the alarm. The flashing of the triangle plot symbol continues until you intentionally terminate tracking of the target. The ARP continuously monitors the predicted range at the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and predicted time to CPA (TCPA) of each track to own ship.  This feature helps alert you to targets which may be on a collision course with own ship. However, it is important that gain, A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and other radar controls are properly adjusted and the ARP is set up so that it can track targets effectively.  CPA/TCPA alarm ranges must be set up properly taking into consideration the size, tonnage, speed, turning performance and other characteristics of own ship. CAUTIONThe CPA/TCPA alarm should never berelied upon as the sole means for detect-ing the risk of collision. The navigator isnot relieved of the responsibility to keepvisual lookout for avoiding collisions,whether or not the radar or other plottingaid is in use.

2. RADAR OPERATION    2-442.27  Interpreting the Radar Display 2.27.1 General Minimum and maximum ranges Minimum range The minimum range is defined by the shortest distance at which, using a scale of 1.5 or 0.75 nm, a target having an echoing area of 10 m2 is still shown separate from the point representing the antenna position. It is mainly dependent on the pulselength, antenna height, and signal processing such as main bang suppression and digital quantization. It is best to use the shortest possible range as long as the clarity and definition of the picture remain good.  Maximum range The maximum detecting range of the radar, Rmax, varies considerably depending on several factors such as the height of the antenna above the waterline, the height of the target above the sea, the size, shape and material of the target, and atmospheric conditions.  Under normal atmospheric conditions, the maximum range is equal to the radar horizon or a little shorter. The radar horizon is longer than the optical one by about 6% because of the diffraction property of the radar signal. Rmax is given in the following equation. Rmax= 2.2 x (h1  +  h2  ) where        Rmax:  radar horizon (nautical miles)           h1:  antenna height (m)              h2:  target height (m) Radar horizonOptical horizon  Radar horizon For example, if the height of the antenna above the waterline is 9 meters and the height of the target is 16 meters, the maximum radar range is; Rmax= 2.2 x (9+ 16  ) = 2.2 x (3 + 4) = 15.4 nm  It should be noted that the detection range is reduced by precipitation (which absorbs the radar signal).
2. RADAR OPERATION    2-45Radar resolution There are two important factors in radar resolution (discrimination): bearing resolution and range resolution.  Bearing resolution Bearing resolution is the ability of the radar to display the echoes received from two targets, which are at the same range and close together, as separate targets. Bearing resolution is directly proportional to the antenna length, and inversely proportional to the radar's wavelength.  Range resolution Range resolution is the ability to display the echoes received from two targets, which are on the same bearing and close to each other, as separate targets.  Bearing accuracy One of the most important features of the radar is how accurately the bearing of a target can be measured. The accuracy of bearing measurement basically depends on the narrowness of the radar beam. However, the bearing is usually taken relative to the ship’s heading, and thus, proper adjustment of the heading marker at installation is an important factor in ensuring bearing accuracy. To minimize error when measuring the bearing of a target, select a range which will put the target as far out to the edge of the radar screen as possible.  Range measurement Measurement of the range to a target is also a very important function of the radar. There are three means of measuring range: the fixed range rings, the trackball and the variable range marker (VRM). The fixed range rings appear on the screen with a predetermined interval and provide a rough estimate of the range to a target. The trackball is rolled to place the cursor on the leading edge of the target. Range and bearing to the target is shown at the bottom right-hand corner of the display. The variable range marker’s diameter is increased or decreased so that the marker touches the inner edge of the target, allowing the operator to obtain more accurate range measurements.
2. RADAR OPERATION    2-462.27.2 False echoes Occasionally echo signals appear on the screen at positions where there is no target or disappear even if there are targets. False target situations may be recognized, however, if you understand why they are displayed. Typical false echoes are shown below.  Multiple echoes Multiple echoes occur when a transmitted pulse returns from a solid object like a large ship, bridge, or breakwater. A second, a third or more echoes may be observed on the display at double, triple or other multiples of the actual range of the target as shown below. Multiple reflection echoes can be reduced and often removed by decreasing the gain (sensitivity) or properly adjusting the [A/C SEA] control. Own shipTargetTrueechoMultiple echo Multiple echoes  Sidelobe echoes Every time the radar pulse is transmitted, some radiation escapes on each side of the beam. This stray RF is called a “sidelobe.” If a target exists where it can be detected by the sidelobes as well as the main lobe, the side echoes may be represented on both sides of the true echo at the same range. Sidelobes show usually only on short ranges and from strong targets. They can be reduced through careful reduction of the gain or proper adjustment of the A/C SEA control. Target B(True)Target B(Spurious)Target A Sidelobe echoes
2. RADAR OPERATION    2-47Virtual image A relatively large target close to your ship may show at two positions on the screen. One of them is the true echo directly reflected by the target and the other is a false echo which is caused by the mirror effect of a large object on or close to your ship as shown in the figure below. If your ship comes close to a large metal bridge, for example, such a false echo may temporarily be seen on the screen. TrueechoFalseechoOwnshipTarget shipMirror imageof target ship Virtual image Shadow sectors Funnels, stacks, masts, or derricks in the path of the antenna block the radar beam. If the angle subtended at the antenna is more than a few degrees, a non-detecting sector or blind spot may be produced. Within this sector, targets can not be detected.

2. RADAR OPERATION    2-482.27.3  SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) may be triggered by any X-Band (3 cm) radar within a range of approximately 8 nm. Each radar pulse received causes it to transmit a response which is swept repetitively across the complete radar frequency band. When interrogated, it first sweeps rapidly (0.4 µs) through the band before beginning a relatively slow sweep (7.5 µs) through the band back to the starting frequency. This process is repeated for a total of twelve complete cycles. At some point in each sweep, the SART frequency will match that of the interrogating radar and be within the pass band of the radar receiver. If the SART is within range, the frequency match during each of the 12 slow sweeps will produce a response on the radar display, thus a line of 12 dots equally spaced by about 0.64 nautical miles will be shown.  When the range to the SART is reduced to about 1 nm, the radar display may show also the 12 responses generated during the fast sweeps. These additional dot responses, which also are equally spaced by 0.64 nm, will be interspersed with the original line of 12 dots. They will appear slightly weaker and smaller than the original dots. 9500 MHz9200 MHzRadar antennabeamwidthScreen A: When SART                  is distant Screen B: When SART                  is close Lines of 12 dots are displayed in concentric arcs.Echo from SARTPosition ofSARTOwn shipposition Own shippositionSART marklength Radar receiverbandwidthSweep time7.5 µs 95 µs Sweep start High speed sweep signalLow speed sweep signal24 NM 1.5 NMPosition ofSARTEcho fromSART Appearance of SART signal on the radar display
2. RADAR OPERATION    2-49General procedure for detecting SART response 1.  Use the range scale of 6 or 12 nm as the spacing between the SART responses is about 0.6 nm (1125 m) to distinguish the SART. 2.  Turn off the automatic clutter suppression (if applicable). 3.  Turn off the Interference Rejector.  General remarks on receiving SART SART range errors When responses from only the 12 low frequency sweeps are visible (when the SART is at a range greater than about 1 nm), the position at which the first dot is displayed may be as much as 0.64 nm beyond the true position of the SART. When the range closes so that the fast sweep responses are seen also, the first of these will be no more than 150 meters beyond the true position.  Radar bandwidth This is normally matched to the radar pulselength and is usually switched with the range scale and the associated pulselength. Narrow bandwidths of 3-5 MHz are used with long pulses on long range and wide bandwidths of 10-25 MHz with short pulses on short ranges.  Any radar bandwidth of less than 5 MHz will attenuate the SART signal slightly, so it is preferable to use a medium bandwidth to ensure optimum detection of the SART.    Radar sidelobes As the SART is approached, sidelobes from the radar antenna may show the SART responses as a series of arcs or concentric rings. These can be removed by the use of the [A/C SEA] control although it may be operationally useful to observe the sidelobes as they may be easier to detect in clutter conditions and also they will confirm that the SART is near to the ship.  Gain For maximum range SART detection the normal gain setting for long range detection should be used, that is, with background noise speckle visible.
2. RADAR OPERATION    2-50A/C SEA control For optimum range SART detection, this control should be set to the minimum. Care should be exercised as wanted target in sea clutter may be obscured. Note also that in clutter conditions the first few dots of the SART response may not be detectable, irrespective of the setting of the anti-clutter sea control. In this case, the position of the SART may be estimated by measuring 9.5 nm from the furthest dot back towards own ship.  Some sets have automatic/manual anti-clutter sea control facilities in which case the operator should switch to manual.  A/C RAIN control This should be used normally (to break up areas of rain) when trying to detect a SART response which, being a series of dots, is not affected by the action of the anti-clutter rain circuitry. Note that racon responses, which are often in the form of a long flash, will be affected by the use of this control.  Some sets have automatic/manual anti-clutter rain control facilities in which case the operator should switch to manual.  Note: This SART information is excerpted from IMO SN/Circ 197 Operation of Marine Radar for SART Detection.  2.27.4  Racon (Radar Beacon) A racon is a radar transponder which emits a characteristic signal when triggered by a ship’s radar (usually only the 3 centimeter band). The signal may be emitted on the same frequency as that of the triggering radar, in which case it is superimposed on the ship's radar display automatically.  The racon signal appears on the PPI as a radial line originating at a point just beyond the position of the radar beacon or as a Morse code signal (see figure below) displayed radially from just beyond the beacon.

  4-14. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION With connection of the optional Network Sounder ETR-6/10N you can show video sounder images on the display.   4.1 Principle of Operation The video sounder determines the distance between its transducer and underwater objects such as fish, lake bottom or seabed and displays the results on screen. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave transmitted through water travels at a nearly constant speed of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per second. When a sound wave strikes an underwater object such as fish or sea bottom, part of the sound wave is reflected back toward the source (transducer). Thus by calculating the time difference between the transmission of a sound wave and the reception of the reflected sound wave, the depth to the object can be determined.    The entire process begins in the network sounder. Transmitter power is sent to the transducer as a short pulse of electrical energy. The electrical signal produced by the transmitter is converted into an ultrasonic signal by the transducer and transmitted into the water. Any returning signals from intervening objects (such as a fish school) are received by the transducer and converted into an electrical signal. The signals are then amplified in the amplifier section, and finally, displayed on screen.  The picture displayed is made up of a series of vertical scan lines, one for each transmission. Each line represents a snapshot of what has occurred beneath the boat. A series of snapshots are accumulated side by side across the screen, and the resulting contours of the bottom and fish between the bottom and surface are displayed. 0206040------------ Underwater conditions and video sounder display

4. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION    4-4Dual-frequency display The dual-frequency display provides both 50 kHz and 200 kHz pictures. This display is useful for comparing the same picture with two different sounding frequencies. 0.050k 200k Dual-frequency display 50 kHz picture The sounder uses ultrasonic pulses to detect bottom conditions. The lower the frequency of the pulse, the wider the detection area. Therefore, the 50 kHz frequency is useful for general detection and judging bottom condition.  200 kHz picture The higher the frequency of the ultrasonic pulse the better the resolution. Therefore, the 200 kHz frequency is ideal for detailed observation of fish school. 50 kHz200 kHz Sounding area and transmission frequency Marker-zoom display The marker-zoom display expands a selected area of the normal sounder picture to full vertical size of the screen on the left-half window. You may specify the portion to expand by operating the VRM (Variable Range Marker), which you can shift with the [ENTER] knob. The area between the VRM and zoom marker is expanded. The length of the segment is equal to one division of the depth scale.  Note: The VRM is set independently from other displays in case of multiple displays.

4. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION    4-94.3  Automatic Sounder Operation Automatic sounder operation is useful when you are preoccupied with other tasks and do not have the time to adjust the display.  4.3.1  How the automatic sounder works The automatic sounder function automatically selects the proper gain, range scale and clutter suppression level according to the depth. It works as follows:  •  The range changes automatically to locate the bottom on the lower half of the screen. The range jumps to one step shallower range when the bottom echoes reach a half way point of the full scale from the top and to one step deeper range when they come to the lower edge of the scale. •  The gain is automatically adjusted to display the bottom echo in reddish brown (default color arrangement). •  Clutter, which suppresses low level noise, is automatically adjusted.  4.3.2  Types of automatic sounder modes Two types of automatic sounder modes are available: CRUISING and FISHING. CRUISING is for tracking the bottom, and FISHING is for searching fish schools. CRUISING uses a higher clutter rejection setting than FISHING therefore it is not recommended for fish detection - weak fish echoes may be erased by the clutter suppression circuit.  4.3.3  How to enable automatic sounder operation 1.  If not displayed, press the [HIDE/SHOW] key to show the sounder soft keys. 2.  Press the AUTO/D. BOX soft key. AUTO MODE▲CRUISINGFISHINGOFF (MANUAL)▼ Mode/frequency window 3.

4. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION    4-264.14  Interpreting the Sounder Display 4.14.1 Zero line The zero line (sometimes referred to as the transmission line) represents the transducer’s position, and moves off the screen when a deep phased range is used. Zero lineShift Zero line 4.14.2 Bottom echo Echoes from the bottom are normally the strongest and are displayed in reddish-brown, but the color and width will vary with bottom composition, water depth, frequency, sensitivity, etc.  In a comparatively shallow depth, a high gain setting will cause a second or sometimes a third or a fourth echo to be displayed at the same interval between them below the first echo trace. This is because the echo travels between the bottom and the surface twice or more in shallow depths.  The color of the bottom echo can be used to help determine the density of the bottom materials (soft or hard). The harder the bottom, the wider the trace. If the gain is set to show only a single bottom echo on mud, a rocky bottom will show a second or third bottom return. The range should be chosen so the first and second bottom echoes are displayed when bottom hardness is being determined. Intensity differencein water depthSecond bottomechoRock baseMud and sand Bottom echoes
4. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION    4-274.14.3  Fish school echoes Fish school echoes will generally be plotted between the zero line and the bottom. Usually the fish school/fish echo is weaker than the bottom echo because its reflection property is much smaller compared to the bottom. The size of the fish school can be ascertained from the density of the display. Size offish schoolSmallschoolLargeschool Fish school echoes 4.14.4 Surface noise/Aeration When the waters are rough or the boat passes over a wake, surface noise may appear near the zero line. As surface turbulence is acoustically equivalent to running into a brick wall, the bottom echo will be displayed intermittently. Similar noise sometimes appears when a water temperature difference (thermocline) exists. Different species of fish tend to prefer different temperature zones, so the thermocline may be useful to help identify target fish. 200 kHz tends to show shallow thermoclines better than 50 kHz.  In rough waters the display is occasionally interrupted due to below-the-ship air bubbles obstructing the sound path. This also occurs when the boat makes a quick turn or reverses movement. Lowering the picture advance speed may reduce the interruption. However, reconsideration of the transducer installation may be necessary if the interruption occurs frequently.

5. CUSTOMIZING YOUR UNIT    5-23Contents of GPS setup menu (con’t from previous page) Item Description Settings Default Setting Position Smoothing  When the DOP or receiving condition is unfavorable, the GPS fix may change greatly, even if the vessel is not moving. This change can be reduced by smoothing the raw GPS fixes. A setting between 000 to 999 is available. The higher the setting the more smoothed the raw data. If the setting is too high, the response time required to show a change of latitude and longitude will be too long. This is especially noticeable if the vessel is moving fast. Increase the setting if the GPS fix changes randomly. 0-999 seconds 0 seconds (no position smoothing)Spd/Cse Smoothing During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speed and course) is directly measured by receiving GPS satellite signals. The raw velocity data may vary too much depending on receiving conditions and other factors. You can reduce this random variance by increasing the smoothing. The higher the smoothing setting, the more the raw data will be averaged. If this setting is high, the response to speed and course changes will slow. For no smoothing, enter all zeroes. 0-999 seconds 5 seconds  GPS Speed Averaging Calculation of ETA is based on average ship’s speed over a given period.
