NOTE: Two configurations must be applied when using an external magnetometer: Leveling and Rotational.
Configuring the Leveling must be performed before the Rotational alignment.

Leveling Alignment
Leveling (roll and pitch) alignment is data that
must be manually entered: the offset of the
magnetometer related to the axes of the system in
which it is installed.
1. Ensure the unit is configured to use the
external magnetometer. Refer to Advanced on
External Mag Leveling Alignment
, enter
the Roll Offset and Pitch Offset in the data
fields, and then click the Set button.
NOTE: The features of the secondary leveling
interface are not available. (Refer to
Figure 24.)
To save the values in the EEPROM, click the Apply
button. Refer to Figure 25 on page 60.
The new configuration settings will be saved and
immediately implemented.
