Chapter 1: Operation 11
1.4 What is the track button for?
If your system includes a SeaTalk autopilot working in conjunction with a
track plotter, you can operate the track plotter in track mode, as follows:
1. Press the track button once, so the track plotter enters track mode.
2. In track mode, to plot a track to the next waypoint, hold down thetrack
button for 1 second.
3. To leave track mode, press the track button again.
1.5 How can I tell what my autopilot is doing?
If a Raymarine Autopilot is connected to SeaTalk, you can use the Autopilot
chapter to show the current pilot status. You can also set the ST60 Graphic
Display to show the autopilot status, on pop-up pages, whenever the
autopilot status changes, (see How can I customize my display?,below).
Examples of instances when a pilot pop-up can occur are:
• Engage autopilot
• Disengage autopilot
• Change of course
• Enter track mode
• Enter vane mode
Autopilot pop-up pages have a border to distinguish them from the other
pages, and are displayed for 5 seconds.
1.6 What alarm messages can be displayed?
The ST60 Graphic Display supports a range of SeaTalk alarm signals and
responds with an internal buzzer and an appropriate on-screen alarm
message.
In addition to this, the ST60 Graphic Display can also provide external alarm
signals for the Auxiliary Alarm option.
The range of available alarms depends on:
• What data is available on SeaTalk.
• Which alarms are enabled during User calibration (see How can I cus-
tomize my display? below).
