Compass
This sets the amount of damping applied to the readings from
Damping
the heading sensor to avoid rapid changes of the heading
display. The range is from 01 minimum damping to 10,
maximum damping. Generally, the higher the sensor is above
the waterline, the more damping is required.
Compass Damping is one element of the standard
configurations preprogrammed into the autopilot's memory
(Pilot A, B and C). As with the other configurations the damping
can be fine tuned as you become more familiar with the
Autopilot. To access the settings window press the COMP key

hold the COMP key for three seconds. This will take you into
the Compass Variation window. A further

can then be altered using the and keys.
The Pilot A, B and C values will always be the same. If you
change one it will change the other. Further details of the
Configuration Settings are given on page 28.
