The
Tides
window allows you to change the way WASSP System uses
tide information. Assuming the
Disable Tides
check box is cleared, the
WASSP System uses the GPS positioning information coming through
the computer communications port to automatically select the closest
tide station. The WASSP System then calculates a tide offset value and

when operating on a
lake. With the Disable Tides box cleared (default), the tide settings are constantly updated. The
Tides button displays tide information for the operator.
The
Local Time Difference
box shows the difference in hours between coordinated universal
time (UTC) and the local time. For example, if you are in New Zealand waters outside the period
that includes daylight saving, the Local Time Difference setting should be set to 12, the number
of hours New Zealand is ahead of UTC with daylight saving. So if UTC is 10.00
am
and local
time is indicated as 12 hours, then the local time would actually be 10.00
pm
