The options listed in the next pages are available and can be manually adjusted for all
profiles.
Auto steering
Turn
Used for selecting how you want to control the vessel’s turn: either by defining the Rate of
Turn (Rate) or the radius.
Rate range: 5°/minute - 720°/minute
Radius range: 10 m - 10 NM
- The minimum radius can however never be less than the value corresponding to a
Rate of Turn = 720°/minute at the set Cruising speed
Turn rate
Used for manually setting the turn rate used when the heading change is larger than 5°.
Adaption
When this setting is activated, the autopilot will continuously adapt some steering related
parameters to the vessel's behavior. The adapted parameters are stored in the work profile.
Rudder gain
This parameter determines the ratio between commanded rudder and the heading error.
The higher rudder gain value the more rudder is applied. If the value is too small it will take a
long time to compensate for a heading error, and the autopilot will fail to keep a steady
course. If the value is set too high the overshoot will increase and the steering will be
unstable.
