5. The threshold values refer to the largest change in Pitch, Roll, and Heave

between successive updates. In order to make useful entries here, the
user needs to know something about the conditions that existed at the
time the data were acquired. Factors such as a small vessel operating in
rough weather, or a motion sensor with a slow update rate, might cause
the default values to be too small. You only want to remove spikes or
glitches in the data due to transmission faults from the sensor.
Consequently, you want to set the threshold values high enough to reject
the small anomalies of movement, but also set the values low enough to
catch the large anomalies. In the majority of cases the default values will
be correct.

6. Click

Process.

The system displays the Processing attitude… dialog box (Figure 4).
Processing starts immediately. It will run to completion unless you click
Pause or Stop.
