Variation

West. The variation setting is sent to other instruments on the SeaTalk
system, and can be updated by other SeaTalk instruments.

AutoAdapt
The patented AutoAdapt feature allows the ST6000 Plus to
compensate for heading errors at higher latitudes, which are caused by
the increasing dip of the earths magnetic field. The increased dip has
the effect of amplifying rudder response on northerly headings in the
northern hemisphere, and on southerly headings in the southern
hemisphere.
Set AutoAdapt to nth in the northern hemisphere, or sth in the southern
hemisphere. You then need to enter your current latitude in the next
setup screen, so that the ST6000 Plus can provide accurate course
keeping by automatically adjusting the rudder gain depending on the
heading.
