System Status View
The system Status view provides detailed information about the performance of the NS25. This
view will appear after start-up if a position is not acquired. This allows you to monitor the status of
the NS25 as it acquires satellites and determines your position.
The Satellite Status info box indicates positions of satellites in the sky. Satellites with poor signal
strength are indicated by gray icons: satellites with good signal strength are indicated by black
icons. Numbered bar graphs corresponding to each satellite show relative signal strength.
The receiver Status info box indicates “Acquiring” if the unit is in the process of determining a
position, or “Position Fix” if the unit has acquired a position. In Simulator or Demonstration mode,
Receiver Status displays “Simulation”.
The Position Quality status displays the Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP). Ranging from 0-
99, it is calculated through a measurement of the satellite positions that affect your position. The
Estimated Position Error displays an estimate of how far you are from the actual coordinate
position.
The Voltage Input displays the current voltage of the boat’s electrical system.
The time/date field displays the current time and date.
Note: Time can be adjusted in the Set-Up menu option; the date is set by the satellite signal
received by the GPS receiver and is not adjustable.
The C-Card Status boxes display the reference number of the cards inserted. If no card is
inserted, “NONE” displays in the box. If a problem is detected, the “ERROR” displays in the box.
The DGPS info box displays “None” if an optional DGPS receiver is not connected. If there is one
connected, and a signal is receiving, “Receiving” displays in this box.
