  • Page 30: Calibration

    This is done by running the vessel back and forth over the same line on the seabed several times, and entering the data from these calibration “trips” into a calibration table. EMES60 uses the data in the calibration table to correct the speeds measured by the speed log.
  • Page 31 See section 5.10 for instructions on using the speed log calibration screen. Speed log calibration is typically done during vessel sea trials. A typical calibration sequence is as follows. 1. Choose a sea area to run the calibration trips. This needs to be in open water, where the vessel can run between two defined points, one nautical mile apart, at a range of speeds up to 75% of the vessel’s maximum speed.
  • Page 32 c. Log Leg1 shows the speed of the first leg of the trip as measured by the speed log. d. Ref. Leg2 and Log Leg2 show the same information for the second leg of the calibration trip. e. Ref. Aver and Log Aver show the reference and speed log speeds, averaged between the two legs of the trip f.
