[DG] [DG11] Hardware requirements for upcoming LH3 advanced sailing software

[Derek - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hi Sailshade,

Thank you for your feedback,

I hope you got the answers you needed regarding the itc-5 and AXIOM. The sailing features will require AXIOM, GPS, Compass, Apparent Wind, Compass (the Raymarine EV1 compass will also generate acceleration and heel data too), Speed through the water as a minimum to be able to calculate the necessary data. You will also need an i70 display to be able to calibrate the transducers connected through the itc-5

Heel information is not used at this time.

The Boat builder is likely best placed to supply polars - but in time these can be manually derived from the data collected.

The AST will operate realtime from data collected and so polars are not a prerequisite.

The AXIOM will output basic non calculated data via NMEA, which could then be recorded on some external device.

regards
Derek
