3.4.7 Speed signal source (Speed Comes From)
Select the connected sensor here.
The following options are available:
NMEA
FREQ INPUT
Please observe that the indicator independently detects whether an
NMEA combined transmitter or the Ocean Line depth transmitter is
connected.
If the Ocean Line depth transmitter is connected, you must additionally
connect the Ocean Line Sumlog transmitter and select FREQ INPUT.
3.4.8 Adjustment of log correction factor (Change K-Faktor)
In order to receive most accurate speed and distance indications, your
VDO Ocean Line Combi must be calibrated after installation of the
system. Mark two prominent points on the sea chart. The defined
distance between these points forms the measured section. The VDO
Ocean Line Combi measures the covered distance during the journey
between these two points. With bodies of flowing water, it is necessary
to undertake the measured journey in both directions, in order to
compensate for the currents influence on the measurement result.
Undertake the measured journey at cruising speed, which is as
constant as possible. Ensure that the calibration factor is C=1.00
(delivery state) and that the partial distance counter is set to zero at the
beginning of the measured journey. The following example relates to a
measured journey in a standing water body with a measured section of
2.00 nautical miles (nm). Navigate to starting point A of the measured
section. If starting point A is located athwart, set the partial distance
counter to zero. Sail across the measured section in a straight line and
record the indicated value (here: 1.66 nm), if target point B is located
