    Transmission error is the difference of the direct reading of the magnetic compass and the heading as displayed by NETcourse. This Menu item enables you to establish a errorlist. This is only necessary in case too large transmission errors are recognized. These transmission errors are caused by the direct interference of the corrector magnets to the detector, so these errors are not a malfunction of the instrument but they result from the ship´s magnetic iron resp.

    With this menu item the alignment of detector can be executed. For installation of NETcourse it is necessary to align the detector to the magnetic compass. For alignment loosen screws of detector a little bit, so that detector can be turned slightly.

    NETcourse Page 11 Installation 4.1) Installation of Detector This chapter may be passed in case the detector is already installed to the compass when delivered. As heading source a conventional compass has to be used. Installation of detector is usually done by glueing it from below centric to the lower cover glass. Between detector and lower cover glass of the compass a certain distance has to be kept.

    Grounding Although NETcourse has passed EMC qualification tests according to EN 60945, an accurate grounding is necessary to avoid interferences caused by electromagnetic radiation like UHF or VHF and electromagnetic pulses (EMP). For example radio telefones are known to disturb the function of the electronics.
