How to Enter Heading

Heading can be entered manually or automatically. Heading data is checked for integ-
rity (see section 18.7 for details), and the data is judged as [Doubtful], [Excluded],
[Failed], [Not Available], or [Passed]. The integrity check results appear on the [HDG]
page, shown below. (The results do not appears when the TCS is engaged.)
[Doubtful] (yellow): Data is not available for comparison, but data is normal.
[Excluded] (red): Data value changed significantly.
[Failed] (red): Data may or may not be available for comparison, and data is abnor-
mal.
[Not Available] (red): Sensor malfunction or data is improper.
[Passed] (green): Data is available for comparison and data is normal.
Note: If there is only one gyro connected to the ECDIS, heading data is compared to
COG from GPS. When the speed is five knots or less, and COG is unstable when it is
compared to heading data, the message "Doubtful" appears for heading data. When
the ship's speed becomes greater than 10 knots and COG stabilizes, the message
disappears after a short while.
