2.6 SENSOR SETTINGS
Go to the main menu by pressing and select to display the
« sensors » page.
All sensors connected to the Topline bus can be calibrated from this menu. Settings
are different for each sensor. Refer to the sensor’s manual for more information.
Main settings:
•
Filter : the filter takes the data average value to set a data refresh rate. This
damping set for apparent wind speed, boat speed and heading (Regatta
compass) affects the autopilot’s “True Wind” mode.
• Offset : applies a correction to data for some sensors.
• Coefficient : applies a correction factor for calibration.
• Reset : back to default settings of the selected sensor.
Data set up process:
• Select the data you want to modify and press .
(Trip Log, Apparent Wind Angle, Boat speed…)
• Modify it with and confirm with .
2.6.1 Calibration wizard
Calibration wizards are available to help you calibrate the apparent wind angle, the
boat speed and a fluxgate compass (not available for the REGATTA compass).
2.6.2 Apparent Wind Angle calibration wizard
Sail 4 legs upwind to measure the average wind angle on each
tack. A wind vane offset will be calculated and applied to correct
the Apparent Wind Angle.
Apparent Wind Angle values must be similar from one tack to
another (+-1°) when the calibration is correct. If this is not the
case, the wind may have shifted, or the crew cannot sail with the
same angle on each tack upwind!
