Damping of wind transducer. The factory default setting should be
adequate. In very heavy weather or unstable wind conditions,
unnecessary corrections may be minimised by increasing the
setting.

P5, Automatic Trim Calibration [ATC]
Possible settings are [0] = Minimum to [9] = Maximum.
[ATC] constantly compares the course set against the course
steered and slowly applies more rudder as necessary to reduce any
errors to zero. Errors may be due to wind, waves or other
unbalanced forces such as single screw operation of a twin screw
boat, an off centre tow or weather helm on a sailing boat, etc. If the
trim time is set too high, it will take a long time to eliminate the
course error. If it is set too low it can start to degrade course
stability. The system will store the Error value in memory for 4
modes of sailing, upwind port tack, upwind starboard tack and
downwind port reach and downwind starboard reach.
In general, longer trim times (higher settings) should be set for large
boats and sailing boats and shorter trim times (lower settings) for
small boats and high speed planning boats. The factory default
setting should be acceptable for all but extreme applications.
6.3.6
P6, Adaptive Control [ADC]
Possible settings are [OFF] or [On].
This function is reserved for future functions.
6.3.7
P7, Automatic Pilot Calibration [APC]
Possible settings are [ON] or [OFF].
The APC will automatically determine and correct how wires and
pipes are connected.
To learn how to perform the APC function, see Sea Trials.
6.3.8
P8, Rudder Speed [RRS]
Possible settings are [0] = Minimum to [9] = Maximum.
The [RRS] controls the flow of the pumpset while in Power Steer
mode.
6.3.9
P9, Rudder angle limit [LIM]
Possible settings are [0°-99°]. Default setting is [00°].
