Setting the Sine/Cosine Data Output

The sine/cosine setup is done in three stages: first the magnetic
or true heading option is selected, then the reference voltage is
set, and finally the swing voltage is set. The valid range for
reference and swing voltages is between 0 and 6.5 volts. The
default value for reference voltage is 2.5 volts. The default value
for swing voltage is

±

1.67 volts. Refer to your autopilot manual

for correct voltage requirements.

If the system is NOT connected to
a GPS or a ship’s gyro, only
magnetic heading data will be
available and the following variation

Setting Sine/Cosine Data Output

If the GyroTrac is receiving data
from a ship’s gyro, all compass
outputs are automatically
configured as True North and
cannot be set to Magnetic. If this is
the case, the following variation on
the magnetic/true selection screen
will be displayed:

only True available

Only Mag available
