Rudder damping
Set this option only if your system includes a rudder reference unit, and
the drive “hunts” when trying to position the rudder.
Test for this when your vessel is moored dockside, by pressing auto
and then +10. If the helm overshoots and has to drive back, or starts to
hunt back and forth, increase the damping level.
Alternatively, you can set a value between 1 and 9. Adjust the damping
one level at a time, and always use the lowest acceptable value.
Range: 1 to 9
Default: 2
Variation
If required, set this value to the level of magnetic variation present at
your vessel’s current position. +ve variation = East, -ve variation =
West. The variation setting is sent to other instruments on the SeaTalk
system, and can be updated by other SeaTalk instruments.
Range: -30° to +30°
Default: Off
