NMEA 2000-Certified Sensor Configuration Information
GWS 10 (Garmin Wind Sensor)
Configuring the Wind Angle Offset (Orientation)
When mounting the sensor, you must adjust the angle offset if you did not orient the GWS 10 as described in the GWS 10 Installation
Instructions.
To configure the wind angle offset (orientation):
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select
2. Select the angle in degrees to adjust for the difference in orientation.
tiP: The angles are configured clockwise around the mast of the boat. For example, 90 degrees is on the starboard side of the boat, and 270 degrees is
on the port side.
Configuring the Wind Speed Filter
The wind speed filter governs how quickly the NMEA 2000-compatible display device shows a change in the wind speed. A lower filter setting
shows changes in the wind speed more gradually, and may stabilize the display.
To configure the wind speed filter:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select
2. Choose from the following options to adjust the filter settings.
•
Off—the wind speed data is not filtered.
•
On—select a lower number to show a change in the wind speed more gradually, and help the gauge needle or wind speed number to
move or change more steadily.
•
Auto—automatically adjusts the filter settings based on wind conditions.
Configuring the Wind Angle Filter
The wind angle filter governs how quickly the NMEA 2000-compatible display device shows a change in the wind angle. A lower filter setting
shows changes in the wind angle more gradually, and may stabilize the display.
To configure the wind angle filter:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select
2. Choose from the following options to adjust the filter settings.
•
Off—the wind angle data is not filtered.
•
On—select a lower number to update the display device less often, and help the gauge needle or wind angle number to move or change
more steadily.
•
Auto—automatically adjusts the filter settings based on wind conditions.
Configuring the GWS 10 if the Filter and Offset Selections Are Not Displayed
Depending on the version of software loaded on your Garmin marine instrument, the specific configuration options may not be displayed on the
configuration screens.
To configure the wind angle offset if the menu option is not displayed:
1. Select
Generic Configuration
2. Enter the following command: "ANGLEOFFSET="
3. Follow the command with a number between 0 and 359, in degrees (for example: ANGLEOFFSET=180).
