Use the WINDTRIM RESPONSE screen to determine how quickly the
autopilot responds to changes in the wind direction.
To configure WINDTRIM RESPONSE:
Ifalowervalue(1 to 3) is used, the autopilot responds to longer term
changes in wind resulting in less autopilot activity.
If a higher value (7 to 9) is used, the autopilot responds to shorter term
changes in wind resulting in more autopilot activity.
Response level
The autopilot response level controls the relationship between course
keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity. Although you
can make temporary changes to response during normal operation, the
DEFAULT RESPONSE value you set here is the response level at power up.
