[CA] [CA11] EV-1 Sensor ROT Data

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

rsqunit,

Thanks for your additional input on this subject. For very large power drive displacement vessels (note that the SOLAS requirement that you have referenced is for vessels having displacements of 50,000 gross tons or greater) having slow ROT, units expressing amount of angle turned per minute may be more meaningful. Others such as myself, who are owners of highly maneuverable vessels such as planing hulls and sailing craft, find ROT data expressing amount of angle turned per second to be of far greater value. I believe that the NMEA 2000 standard expects that ROT will be transmitted in radians per second and the EV-1 / EV-2 CCUs appear to adhere to the that standard. That said, your comments have been noted according.
