User Calibration pages

AutoTack angle (SAILBOAT only)

This calibration setting has no effect on ST8001 systems

Gybe inhibit (SAILBOAT only)

This calibration setting has no effect on ST8001 systems

Wind selection (SAILBOAT only)

This screen determines whether the boat steers to apparent or true wind in
Wind Vane mode.

WindTrim (SAILBOAT only)

WindTrim controls how quickly the SmartPilot responds to changes in the
wind direction. Higher wind trim settings will result in a system that is more
responsive to wind changes.

Response level

This sets the default SmartPilot response level setting. The response level
controls the relationship between course keeping accuracy and the amount of
helm/drive activity. You can make temporary changes to response during
normal operation (see page 8).
