DashT - Race, Engine/Energy, Signal K, Database, Line Graphs
Enhanced replacement of Dashboard and Tactics plug-ins for OpenCPN v5.2 or greater. All Dashboard and Tactics instruments are included within the same plug-in, no need to swap. The combination of network connectivity processing threads, enhanced Tactics originated numerical algorithms and the usage of latest web-development techniques allow DashT to provide, in addition these great functions:
-
Tactics instruments and regatta/race processor has been improved, follow the link for details. To mention a few improvements:
-
Average Wind Instrument has a background thread which distributes the same information to all other instruments, such as the below Race assistant instruments. For that purpose it provides a short term and long term integration of the average wind, making it more suitable for different race configurations.The instrument itself has been modified accordingly:

-
A new Tactics instrument which may interest also cruisers is the registering odometer (i.e. an odograph) which has also two independent trip counters, one of which is persistent.
