$PAMTC,ATTOFF
Summary
A set of proprietary commands to set and query the angular attitude offsets for the
WeatherStation.
Syntax
One of the following forms:
$PAMTC,ATTOFF,SET,<3>,<4>,<5>*hh<CR><LF>
$PAMTC,ATTOFF,Q*hh<CR><LF>
Fields
<3>
Signed azimuth offset (yaw, or bow offset), degrees, to the
nearest tenth of a degree. The value must be between -180.0
and +180.0 degrees. Negative values indicate the forward mark
on the sensor housing is oriented toward the starboard side of
the vessel; positive values toward the port side.
<4>
Signed pitch offset, degrees, to the nearest tenth of a degree.
The value must be between -45.0 and +45.0 degrees. Positive
values indicate the sensor is tilted forward toward the bow;
negative values indicate the sensor is tilted aftward.
<5>
Signed roll offset, degrees, to the nearest tenth of a degree. The
value must be between -45.0 and +45.0 degrees. Positive
values indicate the sensor is tilted toward the port side; negative
values toward the starboard side.
Notes
The $PAMTC,ATTOFF,SET,<3>,<4>,<5> command is used to program the
WeatherStation with the attitude offset angles when the sensor is not oriented
parallel to the centerline, and perpendicular to the deck of the vessel. The
programmed values are stored in nonvolatile EEPROM memory within the
WeatherStation, and so remain programmed even after cycling power. If any of
the fields <3>, <4>, or <5> are null fields, the corresponding stored value will
remain unchanged.
The $PAMTC,ATTOFF,Q command is used to query the values of the attitude
offset angles currently programmed into the WeatherStation. The unit will reply
with
$PAMTR,ATTOFF,a,b,c
