Chapter 1: Operation 11
1.5 Autopilot information
If a Raymarine Autopilot is connected to SeaTalk, you can use the Autopilot
chapter to show the current pilot status. During User calibration (see
Chapter 4,
Calibration
), you can also set the ST60+ Graphic Display to show the autopilot
status on pop-up pages, whenever the autopilot status changes,. 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 Using the track button
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 the
track but-
ton for 1 second.
3. To leave track mode, press the
track button again.
1.7 Alarm messages
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
Chapter 4,
Calibration
).
