LO response
HI response
Active response parameter set is shown in the autopilot popup, and the following
abbreviations are used:
HI-A High response parameters set automatically
LO-A Low response parameters set automatically
HI-M High response parameters set manually
LO-M Low response parameter set manually
Autotuning
The autotune feature will run the boat through several tests and then automatically set
the most important steering parameters.
Autotune is not required for the autopilot to function as it is preset with steering
parameters that should steer most boats in the 30-50 foot range.
You can manually set all parameters that are set during autotuning. Refer next page.
Seastate fi lter
The Seastate filter is used to reduce rudder activity and autopilot
sensitivity in rough weather.
OFF Seastate fi lter is disabled. This is default
AUTO Reduces rudder activity and autopilot sensitiv-
ity in rough weather by an adaptive process.
The AUTO setting is recommended if you want
to use the seastate fi lter
MANUAL Linked to the steering response control settings
described previously. It may be used to manu-
ally fi nd the optimum combination of course
keeping and low rudder activity in rough but
steady sea conditions
Setting sailing parameters
Sailing parameter settings are only available if the
boat type is set to Sail.
Tack time
When performing a tack in WIND mode, the rate of
turn (tack time) can be adjusted. This will give single-
handed sailors time to handle the boat and the sails
during a tack.
A turn performed without shifting wind side, will also
be made at a controlled turn rate.
