The Lodestar has undergone independent and exhaustive testing against an
industry-recognised reference and has proved capable of delivering accurate
measurements in highly dynamic marine environments. Lodestar benefits from
Sonardyne’s world-class manufacturing, support and training organization, which
has a well-established record for providing trusted solutions.
3.2 Front panel features of the Surface Lodestar
Sonardyne has designed the Lodestar AHRS to be as simple as possible to install,
connect, configure, and operate. To support this design principle, the front panel of
the Surface Lodestar has only a single operator control, a series of LED status
indicators, and eight ports to connect Lodestar with external equipment and
supplies. The Surface Lodestar is shown in Figure 1.
