TIp: The angles are configured clockwise around the mast of the boat. For example,
90 degrees is on the starboard side of the boat, and 270 degrees is on the port side.
Configuring the Wind Speed Filter
The wind speed filter governs how quickly the NMEA 2000-compatible display device
shows a change in the wind speed. A lower filter setting shows changes in the wind speed
more gradually, and may stabilize the display.
To configure the wind speed filter:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select Config > Wind Speed Filter .
2. Choose from the following options to adjust the filter settings.
Off —the wind speed data is not filtered.
On —select a lower number to show a change in the wind speed more gradually, and
help the gauge needle or wind speed number to move or change more steadily.
Auto —automatically adjusts the filter settings based on wind conditions.
Configuring the Wind Angle Filter
The wind angle filter governs how quickly the NMEA 2000-compatible display device
shows a change in the wind angle. A lower filter setting shows changes in the wind angle
more gradually, and may stabilize the display.
