Dear Furuno,
I have read through FAR-2807 Series Operator's Manual but I couldnt find a clear explanation or abbreaviation of the word "SB" being displayed at the top right corner.
From what I observe, I think that the radar takes HDG (from gyrocompass) and SOG/COG (from GPS unit) as its initial input data. It then calculates and produces SPD (longitudinal speed) and SB on screen. The SB gets it negative/positive value depends upon the ship's athwartship movement is to port/starboard. I have attached with the sketch but I am not sure about this terminalogy.
I would like to find out whether SPD and SB are results of radar's mathematics calculation or not.
Best regards,
Anh
