KW950E Course and Data Recorder
Product Description
•Digital heading repeater
•Low cost replacement for “course recorders.”
•Connects to a gyro and a GPS.
•Highly reliable, 1000s in service.
The KW950-E is programmed to output a single line of data at certain intervals. The data is printed on a tandard low cost printer, or to a PC for recording on disk. The interval between outputs varies according to these rules, in order to
minimise paper used, and to provide a good record of data.
a) One line output every 6 minutes on a 6 minute interval. (0, 6, 12 etc. 1/10th hour.) Paper usage on passage would be typically 4 pages per day.
b) An output if course changes by 2 degrees from the last output. This occurs no faster than at a 10-second interval. Paper usage during manoeuvring would be typically 3 pages per hour.
c) An output on demand by pressing the keypad AL button.
