Device Operation 29
Device Settings
Device settings allow you to customize the SC-1 behavior. The settings are configurable by connecting
the SC-1 to a PC. Following are the available device settings.
Compass Declination
When defined to the local declination the compass measurement will be referenced to local magnetic
north. Positive declination represents west and negative declination represents east. To reference
the compass measurement to true north, input 0 for compass declination. Default compass declination
is 0 degrees. When using a magnetic compass in conjunction with the SC-1, setting the compass
declination to the local declination is useful since both instruments will be referenced to magnetic north.
Logging Rate
Logging rate is the rate at which the SC1 records data. User can select from 1Hz (once every second),
1/2Hz (once every 2 seconds), and 1/4Hz (once every 4 seconds). The default logging rate is 1/2Hz
Speed Display In
Speed can be displayed in 4 different units of measurement, knots, miles/hour, kilometers/hour and
meters/second. The default unit of measurement is knots.
Beep Enabled
Checking the box enables audible beeping. Beeping is enabled by default.
Start Sequence Sync Points
The timer resets to the largest enabled sync point. Once the timer is running, synchronizing it will
cause it to jump to the next lowest sync point. Sync points should be set at the times when you expect to
receive signals from the Race Committee. For a classic dinghy start sequence you would set sync points
at 5, 4 and 1. The start sequence is set to the classic dinghy start sequence be default.
Timer Mode Changes To
If the top or bottom display is showing the timer it will switch to the mode you choose here when the
timer expires. You can select from any of the modes. The default mode to change to is speedometer
mode.
Modes Enable
Any combination of the 5 modes speed, compass, tactical compass, VMG, timer and start line proximity
can be enabled. If all modes are disabled the device will act strictly as a data-logger without providing
any information on the display. All modes are enabled by default.
