The seatrial settings are:
− Rudder Zero adjust (To tell the AP16 the precise midships
position of the rudder)

onboard magnetic interference)

in the final compass heading readout)
− Wind Offset (To compensate for a fixed mechanical offset
of the Wind vane)
− Wind Damping (To avoid flickering on the wind display)
− Depth offset (To compensate for the distance between the
depth transducer and the surface if required)
− Automatic tuning (A method of determining the steering
parameters)
− Transition speed (the speed at which you want a power
boat to change steering parameters)
− Init NAV (to set the response you prefer when steering
onto a track in NAV mode)
