Calibration 

This section replaces the relevant chapter in the standard Raypilot 
handbook. It allows the user to configure the system to make full use 
of the Workboat operating mode.

Note: The boat’s compass and the fluxgate compass will not agree 
until the calibration procedure has been carried out (refer to the 
RayPilot 650 Owner’s Handbook for details).

Calibration cycle 

The following table lists the calibration options available when the 
system is configured for Workboat mode. Details of each function are 
described in the paragraphs that follow this list.

For calibration details of this system in the standard operating mode, 
please refer to the main handbook.
