Terms - Standard Horizon CPN1010i Owner's Manual

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) – Is the Wi-Fi
standard. It uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to
a maximum of 63 characters.
ALT (Altitude) – Shows the Altitude of the GPS Antenna on the mean sea level. It i received
from GPS, sentence GGA.
APP Wind DIR (Apparent Wind Direction) – Shows the Apparent Wind Direction when a
external wind instrument with NMEA is connected.
APP Wind SPD (Apparent Wind Speed) – Shows the Apparent Wind Speed when a
external wind instrument with NMEA is connected.
BRG (Bearing) – The direction from your current position to a Destination point.
COG (Course Over Ground) – The course your vessel is heading.
DATE – Shows the current date received by the GPS.
DEPTH – Shows the water depth when the optional FF525 50/200kHz BLACK BOX FISH
FINDER or Digital Depth Sounder is connected.
DEPTH AREAS – Depth Areas are the sea areas included in the user selectable range of
minimum and maximum depth limits.
DRAUGHT – Depth of water the vessel draws. The definition of draught (or draft) of a ship's
hull is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull (keel).
Draught determines the minimum depth of water a ship or boat can safely navigate. On
the Tide page the draught window shows the height of the tidal water during a 24hr period
of time. This height is dependant on the time of day.
DSC (Digital Selective Calling) – Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of
establishing a VHF Radio call. DSC had also been designated as part of the Global
Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually
replace aural watches on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and
urgent maritime safety information broadcasts.
DST (Distance) – The distance from your current position to a Destination point.
ETA – Estimated Time of Arrival
GPS Constellation – The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio-
navigation system consisting of a constellation of satellites and a network of ground
stations used for monitoring and control. A minimum of 24 GPS satellites orbit the earth
at an altitude of approximately 11,000 miles providing users with accurate information on
position, velocity and time anywhere in the world and in all weather conditions.
GPS2D – The GPS is receiving at least 3 valid satellites.
GPS3D – The GPS is receiving at least 4 Satellites.
HDG (Heading) – Shows heading from a External Flux Gate Compass when connected.
HDOP/VDOP (Horizontal/Vertical Dilution of Precision) – It is a parameter indicating the
precision of the positioning system (GPS). The smaller the HDOP/VDOP value, the more
accurately the position fix is provided.
HEIGHT – The current Tide Height referred to the vertical cursor.
HIGH WATER – The maximum level of the tide height in 24 hours.
LOW WATER – The minimum level of the tide height in 24 hours.
