Wind shift
(Only available in Wind/Wind

mode)
The wind shift alarm monitors the wind angle. The
reference angle is set when the alarm is turned on and
when the product is turned on. The reference wind angle
is reset to present wind angle when the commanded (set)
wind angle is changed on the autopilot and when a wind
shift alarm is acknowledged.
The wind shift reading is presented on the ‘Wind shift’
data page and shows the change of wind angle with
reference to the (geographic) wind direction.

Setup data sources
A data source can be a sensor or a device connected to
SimNet providing data to other SimNet devices. Data can
be of different type such as compass data, apparent wind
data, calculated wind data, depth data, etc. A given data
type will only be provided from one
device to the other
devices organized in a SimNet Source group (Ref.
Installation/ SimNet groups, page 88).
At the fi
rst time turn on of a group of SimNet
interconnected products (SimNet Source Group), data
sources are automatically selected from an internal
SimNet priority list. If a data source is connected to
SimNet after the first time turn on, this will be identified
and automatically selected if no other data source already
is selected for the given data type.
It is only required to update the SimNet source selections
if an alternative source is made available for a given data
type and this source has not been selected automatically.
