Cross Track Error (XTE)
XTE displays the distance the yacht is from the direct route (Great Circle or Rhumb
Line depending on the position fi xer) between two waypoints. The measurement is a
perpendicular distance from the direct route to the yacht.

Daggerboard
Daggerboard Position will display a value which indicates the current vertical position of a
daggerboard.
Calibration of Daggerboard
The recommended procedure is as follows, this procedure is designed to display “0.0” when
the daggerboard is fully down and a negative value as it is raised. If Daggerboard is not
available in the menu structure it is necessary to determine the linear input in use and
confi gure it correctly - Refer to‘installtion information’.
Position the daggerboard in the fully extended position, set POINT 1 to be 0.0, the voltage is
automatically recorded and can be noted from VOLTS 1 if required. Position the daggerboard
at its fully retracted position, set POINT 2 to be a negative value equal to the travel of the
daggerboard. The voltage is recorded and can be noted from VOLTS 2 if required.
