• SeaTalk Cursor Out: enables the output, onto SeaTalk, of the display's
own cursor (default - OFF ).
• Cursor Echo Local (SL72RC PLUS): echoes the cursor position
between open windows on the same display (default - ON ).
If you set the options to OFF , no cursor echo information is displayed.

Date and Time Settings

Set your preferred date format (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY) and time
format (12 or 24 hour). If you wish to display local time, use the soft keys to
change from UTC to the required time offset. This can be up to plus or minus
13 hours, in hourly steps.

GPS SOG/COG Filter - SL72RC PLUS only

The SOG/COG filter averages the velocity vectors to compensate for the
oscillating motion of the vessel, giving a clearer indication of the vessel's
course and speed. The filter does not affect the calculation of the GPS position.
The velocity vectors calculated from the GPS Signal give an instantaneous
measure of speed and direction of the GPS antenna. The COG and SOG can
therefore seem erratic under certain conditions. For example, when a vessel is
moving slowly through rough seas, the antenna moves from side to side as
well as in the direction of the vessel.
Slow moving vessels, or vessels sailing in rough seas will benefit from a high
setting, whereas a power boat that can quickly change speed and direction will
benefit from a low setting.
Select the SOG/COG filter setting as required. This can be set to HIGH ,
MEDIUM or LOW .

Compass Set Up - SL72RC PLUS only

This option is used to calibrate a Raymarine heading sensor such as the Rate
Gyro Compass. Controls are provided for Linearise Compass which detects
and corrects for heading errors caused by metal objects, and Align Heading
which matches the displayed heading to a known heading or transit.
Refer to the Handbook supplied with your heading sensor for more details.

Language

Select the language in which you wish information to be displayed. The
selected language will be used for screen text, labels, menus and options, but
will not affect the letters displayed by the context-sensitive cursor. The
language setting also affects the display format for lat/long position
information.
