Press MODE twice to adjust the RUDDER FACTOR. This may
be increased or reduced using the arrow keys. In the auto-tune
mode, this value is the ‘starting point’ which applied when the pilot
key is pressed. As the vessel travels, the effective rudder factor is
internally adjusted above or below this point. In the two Manual
modes, this setting becomes the fixed rudder factor. There is more
about the rudder factor in Sec 2.7.

The control mode and rudder factor displays time out if a key is not pressed and the
pilot returns to the standard display.

Press the MODE key three times brings up a screen which displays
navigation data received from the GPS or other device, eg.

WAYPOINT 003

LONG 137 18.330 E

RANGE 26 NM

LAT 23 47.218 S

Not all of this data may be received from a given NMEA system,
and part of the screen may therefore be blank. This data is
displayed for user convenience and does not affect the operation
of the autopilot. If no data relevant to this screen is being received,
the message ‘Waiting for Data’ is shown.

2.5 PROGRAM MENUS

Three program menus give access to a number of system settings which may be used to
fine-tune the performance and select various options. Adjusted settings are stored in
permanent memory and are retained while the system is turned off. Hold the MODE down
for 2 - 3 seconds and the screen will show:
