capability between NFU and Digital FFU steering input devices. This
allows the operator to control the rudder position using either device
without having to expressly select the mode using an input selector button.

Commissioning
The only commissioning procedure required for the Digital FFU device is
to select how many turns of the wheel is desired to represent a hard over
to hard over command. This adjustment is performed through the System
Configuration window of the DSC Setup Software (see section 4.1.1
), or
through the DSC Menu of the keypad setup (see section 4.2.1
). The
polarity of the Digital input device can also be reversed in the SCP
Configuration window of the DSC Setup Software (see section 4.1.1
) or
through the SCP menu of the keypad setup (see section 4.2.2
).
