The Voyage Data Printer
prints continuously the vessel's heading and rudder angle. At the beginning
of each new page and always after an alteration of any parameter the Voyage
Data Printer also prints a status line comprising the following data:

A further feature of the Voyage Data Printer is the range of selectable paper
feed speeds of 60 mm/h, 150 mm/h and 600 mm/h. A choice may also be made between
the heading recording ranges of ±180° or ±30°. The recording
function for the vessel's rudder angle may be switched off completely or set
to a range of ±9°, ±45° or ±70°.
Zoom Function
To analyse in detail a vessel's steering characteristics in both autopilot and
manual steering modes, the zoom function provides the operator with the following
high resolution recording ranges:
| paper feed speed |
600 mm/h |
| heading recording range |
±30° |
| rudder angle recording range
|
±9° |
| time increment |
1 minute |
