ST8002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide

Glossary

Term

Meaning

AST

Advanced Steering Technology (AST) is Raymarine’s unique advanced steering 
algorithm. It uses inputs from a wide variety of sensors to tune the autopilot’s 
operation to provide superior control of the boat in any condition.

AutoLearn

Self-learning calibration feature available on S1G, S2G and S3G autopilot sys-
tems.

AutoTrim

The AutoTrim setting determines the rate at which the autopilot applies ‘stand-
ing helm’ to correct for trim changes caused by varying wind loads on the sails 
or superstructure.

AWG

American Wire Gauge.

CE

Marked on Raymarine products that comply with defined European Commu-
nity standards.

counter rudder 

Counter rudder is the amount of rudder the autopilot applies to try to prevent 
the boat from yawing off course. Higher counter rudder settings result in more 
rudder being applied.

CR pump

Constant Running hydraulic pump.

DC

Direct current.

EMC
(Electromagnetic 
Compatibility)

When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. 
These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one 
another, and this can degrade their performance. By following the EMC guide-
lines in this handbook, you can minimize these effects by ensuring optimum 
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) between equipment.

Fluxgate

Standard Raymarine compass supplied with course computer core pack.

GPS

Global Positioning System.

GyroPlus

Raymarine’s GyroPlus yaw sensor that measures the boat’s rate of turn. It is 
built into the S1G, S2G and S3G course computers.

I/O drive

Inboard/Outboard or stern drive.

MOB

Man overboard.

nm

Nautical mile.
