Entering Own Ship's Speed

The TT requires own ship's speed and heading data. The speed can be STW,
SOG or echo-referenced speed (based on 3 max. stationary objects). Manual
input is also possible.

For automatic or manual input, see section 1.13. For echo-referenced speed
input follow the procedure below.

3.4.1 Echo-referenced

speed

input

The use of echo-referenced speed is recommended when:

The speed log is not operating properly or not connected to the radar.

The vessel has no device (doppler sonar, speed log, etc.) that can measure
ship's bow-stern, port-starboard movement.

If you select echo-referenced speed, the TT calculates own ship's speed relative
to a fixed reference target. The number of targets may be R1, R2 or R3. When a
plural of objects are selected, the mean value is used, for stabilization and
speed.

1. With the cursor inside the effective display area, roll the scrollwheel to

display "REF MARK / EXIT" in the guidance box.

2. Select a small fixed island or any radar prominent point located at 0.2 to 24

nm from own ship.
