22 Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 ProductsNMEA 2000-Certified Sensor Configuration InformationGWS 10 (Garmin Wind Sensor)Configuring the Wind Angle Offset (Orientation)When mounting the sensor, you must adjust the angle offset if you did not orient the GWS 10 as described in the GWS 10 InstallationInstructions.To configure the wind angle offset (orientation):1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select Config > Wind Angle Offset.2. Select the angle in degrees to adjust for the difference in orientation.tiP: The angles are configured clockwise around the mast of the boat. For example, 90 degrees is on the starboard side of the boat, and 270 degrees ison the port side.Configuring the Wind Speed FilterThe wind speed filter governs how quickly the NMEA 2000-compatible display device shows a change in the wind speed. A lower filter settingshows changes in the wind speed more gradually, and may stabilize the display.To configure the wind speed filter:1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select Config > Wind Speed Filter.2. Choose from the following options to adjust the filter settings.Off—the wind speed data is not filtered.On—select a lower number to show a change in the wind speed more gradually, and help the gauge needle or wind speed number tomove or change more steadily.Auto—automatically adjusts the filter settings based on wind conditions.Configuring the Wind Angle FilterThe wind angle filter governs how quickly the NMEA 2000-compatible display device shows a change in the wind angle. A lower filter settingshows changes in the wind angle more gradually, and may stabilize the display.To configure the wind angle filter:1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select Config > Wind Angle Filter.2. Choose from the following options to adjust the filter settings.Off—the wind angle data is not filtered.On—select a lower number to update the display device less often, and help the gauge needle or wind angle number to move or changemore steadily.Auto—automatically adjusts the filter settings based on wind conditions.Configuring the GWS 10 if the Filter and Offset Selections Are Not DisplayedDepending on the version of software loaded on your Garmin marine instrument, the specific configuration options may not be displayed on theconfiguration screens.To configure the wind angle offset if the menu option is not displayed:1. Select Generic Configuration to specify data for the filter and offset settings.2. Enter the following command: “ANGLEOFFSET=”3. Follow the command with a number between 0 and 359, in degrees (for example: ANGLEOFFSET=180).••••••
