1.13 Entering Own Ship's Speed
The TT and azimuth stabilized presentation modes require own ship speed input
and compass signal. The speed can be entered from a log (STW) or GPS (SOG)
or manually on the menu. Note that FURUNO GPS Navigator GP-90 provides
COG and SOG.

Notes on speed input
• IMO Resolution A.823(19) for TT recommends that a speed log to be
interfaced with a TT should be capable of providing through-the-water speed
(forward speed).
• Be sure not to select a LOG option when a speed log is not connected. If the
log signal is not provided, the ship speed readout at the top of the screen will
be blank. In the event of a log error, enter speed manually.
• The SPD is shown as "*.* kn" and the label "LOG" (in red) appears and the
alarm buzzer sounds if no log signal is present for 30 s.
• With the serial speed inputs and SOG selection, if the type of data is changed
from SOG to STW the label "LOG" (in red) appears and the alarm buzzer
sounds.
