Autopilot settings
The autopilot settings can be split between settings done by the
user, and settings done during installation and commissioning of
the autopilot system.
• User settings can be changed for various operational conditions
or user preferences
• Installation settings are defined during commissioning of the
autopilot system. No changes should later be done to these
settings
For setup and commissioning, refer to the documentation for your
autopilot computer.

Note: For Turn pattern settings, refer to "Turn pattern steering" on
page 21.

Sources
Data sources provide live data to the system.
The data may originate from modules internal to the unit (for
example internal GPS or sonar), or external modules connected to
the NMEA 2000 or via NMEA 0183 if available on the unit.
When a device is connected to more than one source providing the
same data, the user can choose the preferred source. Before
commencing with source selection make sure all external devices
and the NMEA 2000 backbone are connected and are turned on.
• Auto select: Looks for all sources connected to the device. If more
than one source is available for each data type, selection is made
from an internal priority list. This option is suitable for the
majority of installations.
• Manual source selection: Manual selection is generally only
required where there is more than one source for the same data,
and the automatically selected source is not the one desired.
