The ARROW keys
When the system is set to pilot operation, it uses the following courses as the course to be steered:
In COMPASS mode, the compass course applied.
In WIND mode, the current apparent angle of incidence of the wind.
In NAV mode, the course between two marks.
In COMPASS and WIND modes, the course to be steered can be altered in the port or starboard directions
by pressing the relevant ARROW key.
The course is changed in steps of 1 degree. If the ARROW RIGHT key is pressed, the specified course is
changed to starboard. Pressing the ARROW LEFT key changes the specified course to port.
If one of the ARROW keys is held depressed, the course to be steered is continuously altered in the relevant
direction.
It is not possible to change the specified course using the arrow keys in NAV mode, as the course
between the start and finish points is displayed.
The function of the PROG key
Pressing the PROG key opens up various sub-menus, the nature of which depends on the status of the
system.
These allow you to modify the closed loop control characteristics of the autopilot and adjust the system to
match your individual vessel.
The following sections provide information on the structure of the sub-menus and the settings with the PROG
key.
Setting the autopilot
The autopilot settings can be divided into three groups:
Settings during pilot operation:
Settings effected while the autopilot is actively steering influence the control behaviour in different
ambient conditions such as wind force or changes to the motion of the sea.
Settings during standby operation:
These settings modify the closed loop control characteristics of the system to match the type of vessel.
You can change the settings when major changes have been made to the rigging, the rudder system
or the engine.
Settings after installation:
These settings are made by a specialist after installation of the system and you should not change them.
These are settings which affect the basic functions of the autopilot.
Each change in settings is effective immediately after the entry has been confirmed by pressing
the ENTER key. To save the settings permanently, the Save function (p. 45) must be used before
the system is switched off.
The following sections first describe the sequence in which the settings can be made in the contexts named
above. A detailed description of each individual setting then follows.
