of the steering parameters may improve the performance of the
autopilot.
Transition speed
Refer to
"Setting the Transition speed (HI/LO)"
on page 38.
Rudder
This parameter determines the ratio between commanded rudder
and the heading error. The higher rudder value the more rudder is
applied. If the value is too small it will take a long time to
compensate for a heading error, and the autopilot will fail to keep a
steady course. If the value is set too high the overshoot will increase
and the steering will be unstable.
Counter rudder
Counter rudder is the amount of rudder used to try to prevent the
boat from yawing around the set course. Higher counter rudder
settings result in more rudder being applied.
The best way of checking the value of the Counter rudder setting is
when making turns.
The following figures illustrate the effects of various Counter Rudder
settings:
1
Counter rudder too low; overshoot response.
2
Counter rudder too high; sluggish and creeping response.
3
Correct setting of counter rudder; ideal response.
Auto trim
This parameter defines how fast the autopilot shall correspond after
having registered a heading error.
