True wind or Relative wind may be selected from the Other dialog box in the Sensors menu.
19.10.1 Installation parameter for wind sensor
There are installation parameters for a wind sensor:
• Source of True wind (Setting for inputted serial data)
• Display format (Relative wind, true wind)
• Output format to ARPA (output format to ARPA)
The tables which follow describe the above-mentioned parameters. Greyed options are default settings.
Source of true wind
Option
Receive (R)elative/Apparent Wind and Calculate True
Wind
Receive (T)heoretical Wind(HDG) and Calculate True
Wind
Receiver (T)rue Wind(North) and use it directly
Display format
Option
Display Rel(=Theoretical) or True(=North)
Display Rel(=Apparent) or True(=North)
Display Rel(=Apparent) or True(=Theoretical)

Description
R(Relative) is extracted from the MWV sentence, read
as Apparent data and North and Theoretical are
calculated.
T(True) is extracted from the MWV sentence, read as
Theoretical data and North and Apparent are calculated.
T(True) is extracted from the MWV sentence, read as
North data and Apparent and Theoretical are calculated.
