Dockside setup
Data source selection
Before commencing with autopilot computer setup the data
sources must be available and configured.
Data sources selection is required on initial start-up of the system, if
any part of the network has been changed or replaced, or if an
alternative source is made available for a given data type and this
source has not been selected automatically.
You can let the system automatically select your sources, or set up
each source manually. Refer to documentation for the autopilot
controller or for the display unit for details about how to perform
the data source selection.
Override function
The SteadySteer feature allows you to control how the autopilot
system reacts to manual steering.
When enabled:
• Manual steering overrides the active mode.
• If Auto mode or NoDrift mode was active before going into
manual steering, they will automatically re-engage when the
vessel has stabilized on a new course.
• If NAV mode was active before going into manual steering a
dialog will be shown.
- Confirm course change to reactivate NAV mode.
- Cancel the course change to activate Auto mode on the new
heading.
- If no action is taken the autopilot will go into Standby mode.
• For any other modes, the autopilot goes into Standby mode.
When disabled:
• Manual steering overrides the active mode.
• Independent of modes, the autopilot goes into Standby mode.
