Notes:
1) IMO Resolution A.823(19) for ARPA recommends that a speed log to be interfaced with an
ARPA should be capable of providing through-the-water speed. The same concept applies to
the ATA and the EPA.
2) Be sure not to select LOG when a speed log is not connected. If the log signal is not provided,
the ship's speed readout at the screen top will be blank.
