3.5 LOGGING: Log rate setting.
OFF : No logging.
1HZ : When speed over [MIN SPEED], log rate in 1HZ.
5HZ : When speed over [MIN SPEED], log rate in 5HZ.
SMART:
When speed over [MIN SPEED] but less than [SPD
GENIE], 1 HZ log rate.
When speed over [MIN SPEED] but more than [SPD
GENIE], 5 HZ log rate.
Note: This saves memory at low speed and gives more
precious data where it’s needed, but some software uses
changes in log rates as an error filter. This may cause alphas to
be rejected if log rate changes during the gybe.
3.6 MIN SPEED (MIN SPD): Speed threshold, only logged
speed above [MIN SPEED].
Available number: 0 to 15 [UNIT].
Sets the speed when logging starts. Under [MIN SPEED]
there is no logging.
3.7 UNIT: Speed measurement unit.
KM : Kilometer.
MI : Mile.
NM : Nautical mile.

7 www.locosystech.com
3.8 GMT: Set GMT/Time zone, e.g. +8:00 for Taipei.
Available number: GMT-12:00 to GMT+13:00.
3.9 AVG NSEC: Time interval for speed averaging.
Available value: 1 sec to 60 sec.
Default 10 seconds
3.10 AVG MSEC: Time interval for speed averaging.
Available value: 1 sec to 60 sec.
Default 2 seconds
3.11 SPEED GENIE (SPD GENIE): Auto-speed report,
setting the minimum speed threshold to initiate [SPD
GENIE].
Note: For alphas [SPD GENIE] needs to be set below the
minimum gybe speed.
For speed runs, set lower than the downwind speed but higher
than the upwind speed.
Available number: 0 to 63 [UNIT].

3.13 RSLT1A~RSLT4B: Speed result selection options
(Screen 1~4).
These are 4 speed genie windows which scroll once
speed goes above and then under [SPD GENIE] setting.
Each window has two sub-screens: A(top half) and
B(bottom half).
Each window has two possibilities, a split screen
showing two results in small font, or a single display of
one result in big font.
To achieve the big font single display set A and B to the
same category (speed type) for that screen number.
To achieve the split screen set A and B to different
categories for that screen number.
Each screen can assign one or two of the following speed
types:
Example:
RSLT1A/1B
RSLT2A/2B
RSLT3A/3B
