General Operation
Autopilot information is displayed on the ST290 Graphic Display in
either single, dual- or quad-screen modes.These modes are used for
general operation and configuration of the autopilot alongside other
features of the ST290. You can configure these screens as part of the
Graphic Display User Setup procedure (see Section 7, System Setup).
Note: When your boat is under the control of the autopilot and you wish
to access other information on the displays, we recommend that you use
the dual- or quad-screen mode so that one view can be dedicated to dis-
playing the autopilot status.
