When the external heading sensor signal (the magnetic compass system, etc.) is connected to the AlphaMidiCourse Mk2,
the repeater signal (serial signal or step signal) can be sent from this system by using the external heading sensor.
Also when the processing unit for the external heading sensor signal is built into the AlphaMidiCourse Mk2 as an option,
the repeater signal (2 circuits for serial signal and 1 circuit for step signal) can be backed up by using the external heading
sensor, even if the Gyro Compass stops.
Note
For the system selection, refer to paragraph 2.6
Heading Sensor Selection.
