Rudder limit
Determines the dynamic range of the rudder before its movement
is restricted and alarm is triggered. Typical usage is to limit the
amount of rudder action caused by yawing in following sea.
Ú
Note:
Rudder limit is not a hard limitation of the rudder range,
only around the current setpoint.
This Rudder limit does not affect Non-Follow-up or Follow Up
steering.
Off heading limit angle
Sets the limit for the off heading alarm.
When the alarm option is activated an alarm occurs when the actual
heading deviates from the set heading more than the selected limit.
Track response
Defines how aggressively the autopilot should steer towards the
active route's leg.
Track approach angle
This setting is a limit to prevent approaching the track too steeply.
Approaching the track at shallower angles is permitted depending
on the cross track distance (XTD) and track response setting.
This setting is used both when you start navigating and whenever
the autopilot is working the boat towards the route.
Course change confirm angle
Defines the limit for automatic course change to next waypoint in a
route when the autopilot is following a route (NAV mode).
If the course change is greater than this set limit, you are prompted
to verify that the upcoming course change is acceptable.
Sailing parameters
Ú
Note:
Only available if the boat type is set to SAIL.
Wind mode
