Setting Compass Damping
Options: [ 0 - None | 1 - Low | 2 - High ] Default: 0 - None
The third config menu selects between the 3 levels of compass damping.
You will see ‘d LEvEL’ scrolling across the top display and either 0 (default), 1, or 2 on the bottom display.
You can toggle between the three levels using the PIN and RC buttons.
The damping rate affects the response of the ProStart to a change in heading. The greater the damping
value the smoother the heading change will be, but the slower the response will be to a change in
heading.
Selecting the appropriate damping level is a personal preference usually based on the boat being sailed,
the wind and the water conditions.
For example, in steady wind and flat water, no damping (level 0) is recommended. However, in high wind
with lumpy water damping will eliminate large heading variations that can make judging a wind shift
difficult.
Press GUN button to save your selection and progress to the next menu, or press RESET to exit config
without saving the current menu (all previous menus will still have been saved).
Setting Heading Offset
Options: [ -90° to +90° ] Default: 0°
The fourth config menu selects a heading offset. The default is 0°.
You will see ‘HEAding OFFSEt’ scrolling across the bottom display and either 0 (default), or some other
number between -90 and +90 on the top display. Pressing the RC button will increase the heading offset
by 1° and PIN button will decrease it by 1°.
Heading Offset can be used to add a fixed offset to the compass output. This is useful if the ProStart is
mounted at any angle other than perpendicular to the centerline of the boat.
Press GUN button to save your selection and progress to the next menu, or press RESET to exit config
without saving the current menu (all previous menus will still have been saved).
