6.30.4 Wind Data Damping Period

The WSO100 comes from the factory preset with a damping period of 1.5 seconds, which should be appropriate for most applications. However, you may use the DSM250 to tune the damping period to anywhere between 0.1 seconds and 5.0 seconds if you desire. To do this, use the Scroll Up ( ) or

Scroll Down ( ) keys to move the highlighted cursor to the “Wind Data Damping Period:” menu item, then press the Enter key ( ) to move the highlight to the numerical value on the right. This is

shown in Figure 229 below. Use the Increase and Decrease keys to adjust the damping period to the

desired value, and then press the Enter key ( ) to accept the value and store it within the WSO100.

6.30.5 Barometric Pressure

The WSO100 has an internal barometer, which is pre-calibrated before leaving the factory. If the unit requires re-calibrating, then this field allows the entry of the actual pressure. This may be necessary if the vessel is on a lake with an altitude other than sea level, and the user wishes to normalize the barometric pressure to sea level.
