The CTS function gives you the shortest way to sail towards the
Waypoint. Tide must however be taken into consideration, since it
will give a time dependant drift on the boat.
4.5.7 Tactical use of [MEM]
Function [MEM] is used to discover the smallest of wind shifts during
upwind or downwind sailing, but it is your tactical decision wheter to tac or
to stay on course. The Compass Data instrument will automatically keep
track on wheter you are using the starboard or port MEM if the course
difference between each trim is more then 45º. There is also a new function
called [KTR] (Knock TimeR), giving you the time spent i seconds when
sailing below a preset ”knock Angle”. Both [MEM] and [KTR] will help you
to get a very good ”picture” over actual windshifts, both in size and time.
How does it work ?
On the optimum compass heading, press the trim or
KEY
button to store
your present course in the memory called MEM. Your actual course is
then constantly compared with MEM and displayed as a lift or as a
header. Each time you press trim or
KEY
, a new reference course is set.
How to use the MEM function:
When you are sailing at a good speed and with the sail trimmed, press
trim or
KEY
. The Compass Data will then store the present course in
memory MEM as a reference. If you then have a lifter, press TRIM again,
but if you have a header more then 5º-10º,
tack.
After you tack, re-trim the sails and get a good boat speed before you press
trim or
KEY
again. Now you have set a new reference in the memory.
Whenever you get a lifter, press TRIM, but when you get a header,
tack.
Your
previous trim reference will automatically be displayed and used.
Now, add the KTR timer
The timer must first be activated. This is done by setting the CAL value
C-17 to the maximum angle where you consider your boat to be pushed
off course, i.e. where you normally would tac when getting a header. See
more under [KTR] setup.
4.5.8 Battery voltage [BAT]
The text [BAT] will display battery voltage. The voltage is measured
inside the instrument and will not compensate for any voltage drop
caused by installation.
4.5.9 Boat speed [BSP], option
The text [BSP] will display boat speed (water speed). The text [BSP] will
toggle with selected unit, i.e. (KTS), (KMH) or (MPH).
As an option, you may add or remove displaying boat speed [BSP],
trip log [TRP] and water temperature [TMP]. See calibration.
