7-1-4 Section 7: System Setup
ST290 Instrument System Owner’s Handbook
Choosing the best instrument profile
As part of User Setup, you can choose which operating profile to use. An
operating profile is a set of chapters and pages selected to best suit a
specific purpose. Each digital instrument has three preset profiles,
namely FULL, SAIL and POWER.
As its name implies, the FULL profile offers the full functionality of the
instrument. The SAIL and POWER profiles provide groups of chapters and
pages best suited to these types of boats.
Details of the chapter and page structures for the preset profiles are given
in Section 2 of this handbook.
In addition to the preset profiles, each digital instrument type has at least
one custom profile which you can edit, to best suit your methods of
operation. For example, you could create dedicated custom profiles for
racing and cruising.
