Software commands for S53MV gyrocompass --------------------------------------- Alphanumerical 16x2 LCD module + one pushbutton Sequence of initialization menus at power-on: (1) Display version. Long depression >>> go to (5) Compass calibration menu. GYROCOMPASS S53MV 14.07.2006 (2) Magnetic compass operation. Long depression >>> remain in this menu, exit: cycle power off/on. N3418+00*7E=19A2 E1E51+FF*7D=0E4F (3) Gyroscope operation. Long depression >>> (6) Copy GYRO into RAM OFFSET. GYRO 7F63B4 EEPROM 7F5DF5 (4) Normal operation. First row: Gyrocompass CDI bargraph and 3-digit gyro heading. Second row: yaw-rate bargraph and 3-digit magnetic heading. Gyro heading and offset slaved to magnetic heading with long time constants. ....II*......028 ......o......031 Short depression: copy magnetic heading into gyro heading, reset CDI. Very long depression (>10sec): (7) Copy GYRO OFFSET from RAM into EEPROM. (5) Compass calibration menu: eFF+*7D n00 *7E g7F5DF5 First row: east offset (signed), east gain, north offset (signed), north gain. Second row: gyro offset (can not be changed in this menu). Short depression: increment/decrement parameter marked with +/-. Long depression: change +/-, change selected parameter in first row and write modifications into EEPROM. Exit: cycle power off/on. (6)Copy GYRO into RAM OFFSET: GYRO-OFFSET second row blank After a short interval >>> go to (4) normal operation. (7) Copy GYRO OFFSET from RAM into EEPROM: OFFSET>>>EEPROM OFFSET 7F5DF5 After a short interval >>> full reset, go to (1) Display version.
