The Offset value can be either
positive or negative.
Wind damping
Damping of the apparent wind
angle is made by the Advanced
Wind Filter (AWF) in the
Autopilot Computer.
The inputs to the AWF are heading, boat speed, apparent wind
angle and wind speed. Verify that these inputs are available in
User Setup/Source Select.
Heading sensors, speed sensors and wind sensors have variable
performance. The measured wind angle can be very erratic when
the boat is rolling heavily. In such conditions the AWF gives a
better result when the calculations are based more on heading
and boat speed inputs to achieve the correct apparent wind angle.
Increasing the ‘Wind damping’, will make the AWF depend
more on heading and boat speed to calculate the correct apparent
wind angle. Decreasing the ‘Wind damping’, will make the
AWF depend more on the “raw” apparent wind angle data.
The boat speed input to the AWF is primarily Speed Over
Ground (SOG). If this is not available, the AWF will use speed
through water. If none of these are available, the AWF will use a
boat speed that is 1.5 times the the Transition Speed set in the
Installation/Seatrial menu.
Range: 1 – 100 seconds
Default: 15 seconds
Depth Offset
Note ! This adjustment only applies to “smart” depth transducers that
outputs depth on NMEA2000 format. NMEA0183 sentence
‘DPT’ contains offset and the depth reading is from the surface.
NMEA0183 sentence ‘DBT’ contains no depth offset and the
reading will be from the position of the transducer.
