To select value, press DOWN , UP and MODE as required.
To store the value, press KEY .
When the steer reference function (AWA) is used together with the
analogue steer pilot instrument, you can display an enlarged
”picture” of the tacking or run angle. Put simply, you ”expand” the
wind angle.
Use the analogue steer pilot as a ”close hauled” instrument.
Example: You have selected 35° starboard side (35° |- STR) as
your tacking angle.
When the needle on the analogue steer pilot instrument points
straight up to zero (0), you steer at the selected 35° wind angle.
You can of course also use the (AWA) function when running
down wind, to keep a selected value for the run angle and/or to
warn for a gybe.
Example: You have selected 160° port side (160° -| STR) as your
running angle. When the needle on the analogue steer pilot
instrument points to 15° port side you are at 145°. When the
needle is at zero (0) you are at 160°. When the needle points 15°
starboard you are at 175°.
At night, when you can not see the wind shifts, the use of the
(AWA) function together with the analogue steer pilot is a very
helpful.
This is a dynamite function that allows you to ”expand” the
wind angles!!!
When a Nexus Autopilot is activated in wind mode, the (AWA)
function on the Multi Control instrument can be used to perform an
automatic tack.
The minus sign ( - ) in front of the wind angle value = port side.
The underlining sign ( _ ) in front of the wind angle value =
starboard side.
Simply change the value of the digit in front of the wind angle, and
the Nexus Autopilot will gibe to the opposite tack.
8.4 Store and edit a waypoint (Edit WP)
The Server contains a memory that stores up to 99 waypoints in a
non-volatile memory.
Waypoint number 99 can be used as an ordinary waypoint, but if
the MOB button is activated, this waypoint will be over-written by
the MOB position.
