Digital Yacht has launched a new high-speed compass sensor called the HSC100. It is designed to provide electronic heading information for plotter, radar and PC-based navigation systems, enabling the use of features such as radar overlay or MARPA target tracking. The HSC100 has a simple two-wire NMEA output and runs on either 12V or 24V with minimal power consumption. It is waterproof and also features an automatic calibration/deviation routine to compensate for the effects of any nearby magnetic influences. A heading offset can also be applied if the sensor is mounted at an angle to the boat’s centreline. Most low-cost compass sensors only output NMEA heading data once per second, which is too slow for proper stabilisation of a radar overlay or MARPA target tracking function, but the HSC100 sends data at ten times this speed to enable a more stable presentation of overlay data.
