Figure 173 – SSC200 Magnetic Deviation Calibration Progress Screen

This progress screen shows the number of circles completed, the current heading, the current rate of turn, and the current status of compass calibration. If you do not wish to continue magnetic deviation calibration at this time, press Abort ( ), and the currently stored deviation tables will be retained.

Once calibration is successful, a completion screen will appear. If calibration is unsuccessful, a screen will appear indicating this, and you should repeat the calibration procedure.

6.22.7 Rate of Turn Damping Period

The SSC200 is capable of transmitting the rate of turn of a vessel. Different applications may require different damping for the rate of turn measurement. The DSM250 may be used to set the damping

period for the rate of turn measurement to anywhere between 0.1 seconds and 60 seconds. Figure

175 shows an example of the damping period set to 2 seconds.
