The sensor connection and setup are performed in accordance with the procedure.

Heading sensors: magnetic compass, gyrocompass, or **INS** (Integrated Navigation System).

Received message processing must be correctly configured in the sensor settings.

Heading devices, depending on the device type, transmit the following IEC 61162 sentence headers:

  • HC — magnetic compass;

  • HE — gyrocompass, free in azimuth;

  • HF — induction magnetic compass;

  • HN — gyro heading device, gyro azimuth;

  • GP, GL, GA, GB, GN — satellite compass;

  • SN — inertial navigation system;

  • IN — integrated navigation system;

  • U0…U9 — non-standard header (typically used by non-standard equipment manufacturers). Used rarely.
