9.2 AR200 Calibration (Linearization) To enable accurate placement of Augmented Reality (AR) flags on the camera’s video feed, the AR200’s AHRS sensors need to compensate for local magnetic fields, as well as the Earth’s magnetic fields. Calibration is achieved using an automatic linearization process. The linearization process starts automatically after your vessel has turned approximately 100°, when travelling at a speed of between...
Red if the process is paused or otherwise interrupted. The time taken to complete the linearization process will vary according to the characteristics of the vessel, the AR200’s installation location, and the levels of magnetic interference present at the time linearization is performed.
The maximum deviation reported during the last linearization process. Important: • If the Maximum deviation at last calibration is 45° or above, it is recommended that the AR200 unit is moved and re-installed in a location which is subject to less magnetic interference. Calibration in progress: While linearization is in progress the progress percentage is displayed.
• rate-of-turn too slow or too fast Compass lock Once you are satisfied with the compass accuracy, you can lock the setting to prevent the system from completing a further automatic linearization in the future. This feature is particularly useful for vessels in environments that are exposed to strong magnetic disturbances on a regular basis (such as offshore wind farms or very busy rivers, for example).
