Chapter 4: Commissioning the system 37This screen provides, for each tracked satellite, the satellite number, a graphical signalstrength bar, status, azimuth angle and its elevation angle from your vessel. The skyview graphic shows the position of these satellites.Positional accuracy is dependent upon these parameters; in particular, the azimuthand elevation angles are used in a triangulation process to calculate your position.Horizontal Dilution of Position (HDOP) is a measure of this accuracy; a higher figuresignifies a greater positional error. In ideal circumstances, the figure should be in theregion of 1.0.When a connection has been successfully made, the GPS status icon inthe top right-hand corner of the screen reads FIX.If NO FIX is displayed, please refer to the Troubleshooting section onpage 41.The option to select differential or satellite differential fix is dependentupon the capabilities of the attached GPS.
