Check configuration of navigation sensors

You can check the configuration of your navigation sensors in the [System Sensor
Settings] page and [Local System Settings] page in the [General] menu.
Check speed settings ([SPD] page)
Open the menu and click the [SPD] tab in the [System Sensor Settings] page or [Local
System Settings] page. The user can select navigation sensors for use in navigation
and view their current values.
Checkbox status shows whether the sensor is used for integrated navigation or not. If
there is no value shown for a sensor, it indicates that the sensor is not valid. Note that
the content of these pages depends on the sensors that are in use on the ship.
Select the available dual logs.
Note that manual speed should only be used in an emergency, when no other speed
reference is available. Remember that position sensors are also available as speed
sources. If no dual log is available, check [Reference SPD] (local sensor page) to use
a reference target from the radar as the source for speed and course.
Check position sensors (POSN page)
Open the menu and click the [POSN] tab in the [System Sensor Settings] page or [Lo-
cal System Settings] page. The [Prim] and [Second] labels indicate the type of the po-
sition sensor. (In the figure below the [Prim] label shows GPS1). [Prim] and [Second]
indicate sensor status and priority.
