COURSE, and VOYAGE DATA RECORDER

KW991 off course alarmIn the past course has been recorded with a pen-plotter and highly expensive custom graph paper. The KW991 uses a low cost dot matrix printer and plain paper (roll or fan-fold), and it prints intelligently in plain text, along with time.

The data may be recorded on a PC using a free data logging program, as a simple Voyage Data Recorder.

GPS input provides timing. A routine log of position and speed over ground is printed. The output data rate is variable, automatically, to this simple rule, to minimise the use of paper.

Printout every 6 minutes when on course.
Printout every 10 seconds, if heading changes more than 2 degrees from last printout.
