Multiple data source exceptions

With the Evolution-Series system, there are a number of important exceptions to the handling of multiple sources of certain types of data.

Multiple data source (MDS) exceptionsData source exceptionsSpecifically:

  • Heading data — If a non-Evolution-Series source of heading data is designated by the user, the Evolution-Series system components will combine this heading data with its own gyro and accelerometer data, and then use the improved heading data. This combined heading data will also be available to other equipment on the SeaTalk NG bus.

  • Rudder angle data — Where there are multiple sources of rudder reference information, the Evolution-Series system components will ignore rudder angle inputs from any rudder reference units that are NOT connected directly to the ACU-Series unit.
