Trip log [TRP], option

The text [TRP] is displayed and will show trip distance from 0.00 to 99.9
nautical miles, kilometre or miles. After 99.9, 0.00 is displayed. Clear trip
by pressing UP and DOWN together.
4.5.11

Water temperature [TMP], option

The text [TMP] is displayed with water temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
This function requires a Nexus or Star log transducer.

Dead reckoning [CMG / DMG]

This function requires both Compass and Log transducers.
The text [CMG] (Course Made Good) is first displayed, then, after some
seconds the text [DMG] (Distance Made Good) is displayed. The two
functions are alternating. When the instrument is powered up, the
CMG/DMG function is cleared. Then, while underway, the function will
continuously calculate the shortest travelled distance [DMG] and the
averaged travelled course [CMG], from start or reset.
You may clear and restart the dead reckoning manually by pressing UP
and DOWN simultaneously.

X-track error, [XTE], Option

To get this function, set NAV = On C14 (See 5.1.4).
The text [XTE] is displayed shortly when this function is selected, then a
symbolic "boat" is displayed on one side of the "road" which is displayed
as three vertical lines.
Your "boat" will be displayed on the right or left side of the symbol. The
distance is also displayed and can be in either Nautical mile, Km or
Miles.
4.5.14

In a small NEXUS network

The Compass Data instrument can be used in a small Network together
with the Speed log, Multi Repeater or analogue instruments, without a
Server.
When both the log and Compass transducers are installed at the
Compass Data instrument, we recommend you to install by use of the
connection kit art.no. 21453. Only one cable will then carry all the signals
between the instrument and the connection box. Additional NEXUS
instruments may be connected direct at the Compass Data instrument.
One NEXUS power/data cable will then go to the additional Multi or Log
instruments. (See 2.1.4).
