The Interface Unit

The Interface Unit IF-2500 outputs data received from the navigators to external equipment. Operational status is shown by the LEDs on the unit. For further details, see the chapter on installation. For how to select data to output, see paragraph 8.4 Outputting Data.

Output data conventions

Since both navigators output data to the IF-2500 (through two ports on the interface) confusion would reign if it were to try to output two sets of mostly identical data. Therefore, data output is governed by the following rules: When both navigators are outputting data correctly, data received at the port having higher priority is output. When the GPS abnormal receive signal is received at the port having higher priority, data received from the other port is output. 30 seconds after data received at the port having higher priority becomes normal, the interface unit resumes outputting data received from that port. When data from both navigators is in error, data received at the port having higher priority is output. Arrival alarm signal or cross track error alarm is converted to a contact signal and output when received at the port having higher priority. When no data is received from one or both navigators, a contact signal is output.

Entering Routes

Often a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a series of route points which you navigate to, one after another. The sequence of waypoints leading to the ultimate destination is called a route. The GP-150-DUAL can automatically advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change the destination waypoint repeatedly. The GP-150-DUAL can store 30 routes and each route may contain up to 30 waypoints. Routes can be registered while in the Plotter 1 or Plotter 2 display mode. Routes are mutually registered when the navigators are sharing data.

Finding Range and Bearing Between Two Points
4) Press the NU/CU ENT key. 5) Press the MENU ESC key.
Selecting course sailing method
The range and bearing to a destination can be calculated two ways: Great Circle or Rhumb Line. However, cross track error is calculated in rhumb line only. Great Circle: The great circle courseline is the shortest course between two points on the surface of the earth. (Imagine stretching a piece of yarn between two points on the earth.) However, this course requires frequent change of heading to follow course faithfully. Rhumb Line: The rhumb line courseline is the straight line drawn between two points on a nautical chart. This course does not require frequent changes of heading however it is not the shortest since it follows the earth's curvature. 1) Press MENU ESC, 9 and 1 to display the PLOTTER SETUP menu.

ANT Height

During position fixing, ships velocity (speed and course) is directly measured by receiving GPS satellite signals. The raw velocity data may change randomly depending on receiving conditions and other factors. You can reduce this random variation by increasing the smoothing. Like with latitude and longitude smoothing, the higher the speed and course smoothing the more smoothed the raw data. If the setting is too high, however, the response to speed and course change slows. For no smoothing, enter "0." "5" is suitable for most conditions.

Speed average

Enter the height of the antenna unit above sea surface (000-999 ft, 000-304 m). The default setting is 16 ft.

Disable satellite

Calculation of ETA and TTG, etc. is based on average ships speed over a given period. The default setting is one minute. Change the setting if the ETA seems wrong.
RAIM function/RAIM accuracy
Every GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormal satellite number(s) in the Almanac. Using this information, the GPS receiver automatically eliminates any malfunctioning satellite from the GPS satellite schedule. However, the Almanac sometimes may not contain this information. You can disable an inoperative satellite manually on the GPS SETUP menu.

GPS smoothing, position

RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) is a diagnostic function which tests the accuracy of the GPS signal. To use the RAIM function, enter the range (from own ship in meters) for which you want to know position confidence, on the GPS Setup 2/2 menu. The receiver estimates position confidence using range value and detected satellite error, and displays (provided the RAIM function is active) the results as one of three levels of position confidence, at the top right-hand corner of the screen. The three levels are as follows: SAFE: GPS signal is normal. The positioning accuracy satisfies the setting value. CAUTION: RAIM accuracy cannot be calculated. (Signals from more than five GPS satellites are necessary.) The positioning accuracy does not satisfy the setting value. UNSAFE: GPS signal is abnormal, therefore the positioning accuracy is not reliable. Note that the GP-150-DUAL does not exclude abnormal signals automatically.
When the DOP or receiving condition is unfavorable, the GPS fix may change greatly, even if the vessel is dead in water. This change can be reduced by smoothing the raw GPS fixes. A setting between 0 and 9 is available. The higher the setting the more smoothed the raw data, however too high a setting slows response time to change in latitude and longitude. This is especially noticeable at high ships speeds. "0" is the normal setting; increase the setting if the GPS fix changes greatly.
SAFE: GPS signal is safe to use. CAUTION: RAIM accuracy is shorter than protected level or RAIM measurement not possible. UNSAFE: GPS signal is not safe to use. Enter the range for which you want to know position confidence
