System Configuration
The
functions the system outputs depends mostly on what interfaces
are online. If no boatspeed sensor is attached, there will be no
boatspeed output. Many functions depend on combinations of inputs. For
example, it takes boatspeed and apparent wind inputs to produce true
wind angle.
When an interface drops out, the problem is usually detected when a
function stops working. This table goes from function to interface.

Q
interfaces such as Loadcell or Displacement are dependent on
their particular interface being present.
Test Configuration (tag "Z")
describes the interfaces
the processor sees. It is the sum of the numbers shown in the table.
To determine if a particular interface is online, divide the Test Configuration
by the table value. If the integer part is odd,
the interface is online. If it is even, the interface is missing.
Example: Test
Configuration is 43.
- Do you have boatspeed?
- 43÷2 is 21.5, or
'odd'. Boatspeed is online.
- How about wind?
- 43÷4 is 10.75, or
'even'. Wind is offline
- Compass?
You should write your normal Configuration number down so you can more
easily
determine if an interface is missing.
