FOREWORD
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO Wave Analyzer WV-100/WV-100ST. We are con-
fident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.
Since 1948, FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and
dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our ex-
tensive global network of agents and dealers.
Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and maintenance.
Features
This software, installed in a PC, analyzes and displays the wave radar data obtained from the FU-
RUNO model chart radar FAR-3xx0 or marine radar FAR-2xx8 series.
• Automatic wave height adjustment.
• Wave analysis for both X-band and S-band radars.
• Equipped with sea trial mode (WV-100ST only).
• Always connect the PC to the Navigation network via a firewall device, as shown in the System
Configuration diagram.
Usage Precautions
To prevent potential damage to your radar, follow the below precautions:
• Only connect the analysis PC for wave analysis. Do not connect the PC for any other purpose.
• Do not install any other software on the PC, other than this analysis software.
• Always connect the PC to the Navigation network via a firewall device, as shown in the System
Configuration diagram.
• Do not connect the analysis PC to the ship-board network, or other networks, directly. Always
perform updates to Windows and anti-virus software while offline.
• Before connecting a USB Flash Memory or other USB storage device to the PC, preform a virus
check on the device and confirm that the storage can safely be connected to the PC.
• Only authorized personnel (PC administrator or users with administrative privileges) should use
this software.
• Anti-virus and security software can prevent this software from working correctly. Adjust your
anti-virus and security settings so that this software is white-listed. This software is designed to
be compatible with Windows Defender.
• Before using the PC for a purpose other than wave analysis, or before discarding the PC, unin-
stall this software.

Restrictions on wave analysis
The following restrictions apply to wave analysis.
Radar settings
• Pulse width: Must be set between S1 and M1 (S1 has the highest measurement accuracy.)
• The wave analysis is not available when using the interswitch function. (The slave echo for the
interswitch is used for the wave analysis. The wave setting is canceled at the interswitch.)
Operational specification of wave radar
• This software analyzes wave data using the radars specified beforehand.
• To enable wave analysis, access the settings on the connected radar and switch [WAVE
MODE] to [ON].
In both cases, an error display appears when the analysis results are outside the capabilities of
this software.
Program version no.

1.2 Display Screen Overview
The screen looks something like the one shown below when the radar is transmitting pulses and
waves are being analyzed.
While wave analysis is stopped, the PC screen looks like the following depending on the radar
state.
• Radar is in stand-by: "RADAR ST-BY" is displayed at the center of the left and right screens.
• Radar is disconnected: "NO RADAR" is displayed at the center of the left and right screens.
When the wave analysis contains an error, the message "Wave analysis is not available." appears
at the center of the left screen.
No. Name Description
1 Wave spectrum display area Shows 2D wave spectrum.
2 Radar echo display area Shows radar echo for wave analysis from the specified ra-
dar.

1.2.1 Wave spectrum display area
The 2D analyzed wave spectrum is displayed on the left side of the screen.
• Wave period: The wave periods, or time between waves, appear in the wave spectrum display
area as dashed circles and numerical values (numerical positions are fixed). The wave period
is 15 seconds, 10 seconds, 5 seconds in order of increasing distance to own ship. The farther
away from own ship, the shorter the waves (wind waves), the closer to own ship, the longer the
waves (swells). The periods displayed on the screen are not proportionally displayed due to fre-
quency being used as a distance substitute.
• Wind waves: Waves generated by the wind blowing on the sea.
• Swells: Waves that remain after the waves developed by the wind disappears, or waves that
are detected from a distance and attenuate as they approach.
• Bearing line: The 360° azimuth is divided into 16 with solid lines at 22.5° intervals to make the
waves’ approach easier to understand.
• Wave spectrum: The color of the wave spectrum indicates the relative intensity of the wave on
the wave spectrum display. The intensity of the wave increases in order of dark blue, light blue,
light green, dark green, orange, yellow, red.
• Own ship icon: The own ship icon is displayed at the center of the screen.
