Notes on speed input
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 (forward speed).
Be sure not to choose a LOG option when a speed log is not connected. If the
log signal is not provided, the ship speed readout at the top of the screen will
be blank. In the event of a log error, enter speed manually.
Warning label SPD **.* and LOG appear if no log signal is present for 30 s
while the ship's speed has been more than 5 kt.
With the serial speed inputs and SOG selection, if the type of data is changed
from SOG to STW the label SOG appears in red (at the upper right corner of
the display).
When the AIS feature is active, MANUAL and REF are shown in gray to
indicate they are not available for selection.
