flashing, select one of the following four different steering modes that are

KEY
.
Each function is explained in detail. The function [STR] is a NEXUS
network function, i.e. it will transmit the steer reference data to other
NEXUS instruments. The steer information used on the Compass Data
instrument is functioning within the same concept as the
STEER Pilot
instrument. The instrument is
especially designed for displaying steer or
Compass heading information in the most efficient way. You may also
use one or more external TRIM buttons to set new references. To be able
to utilise the wind steer function AWA, you will need either a Wind Data
instrument, or a NEXUS Server with a wind transducer. For the [BTW]
and [CTS] functions you will need a NEXUS GPS or any NMEA GPS
,Decca or Loran C navigator to be connected.
Also, if you have installed a NEXUS Autopilot, and it is activated, you
may change the course or wind angle by using the STR function.
You can not activate or turn the pilot off with STR, so use with care !
