Advanced source selection
This allows the most flexible and precise manual control over which
devices provide data. Some data sources, such as those for fuel
level, or engine RPM, can only be changed from the Advanced
menu. Occasionally Auto Select may not assign the desired source,
which may be corrected using the Advanced Source Selection. An
example of this is where twin installations with NMEA 2000
compliant engines are not programmed with unique instance
numbers. This means that the auto select feature cannot determine
which engine is fitted on the port and which is fitted on the
starboard side.
Ú
Note: The Advanced option is visible in multiple places -
the bottom of the Sources list, and under each source
category (for example, Compass). The latter shows a filtered
list that only relates to devices that output data relevant to
the category.
Autopilot setup
Verifying the autopilot connection
When an AC12N, AC42N, or SG05 is connected to the GO7 system,
the GO7 automatically detects the autopilot and an Autopilot menu
icon is included in the Settings menu.
If no Autopilot icon is available in the menu, establish the
connection by running the auto select process.
If the AC12N, AC42N, or SG05 is turned off independently of the
unit, the Autopilot menu icon remains available, but only a few of
the menu items are available.
Commissioning the autopilot
When the autopilot installation is completed, the commissioning
procedures must be performed. Failure in setting up the autopilot
correctly may prohibit the autopilot from functioning properly.
The setup of the autopilot computers can be done in full from the
GO7 or from a separate autopilot control head.
The following sections describe how you configure the autopilot
from the GO7 unit. If you connect the GO7 to an already
