Note:
Autotune must always be performed in open waters at a safe
distance from other traffic. The Automatic tuning function may take
from 2 to 3 minutes to complete. To stop the Autotune, press the
‘Enter’key.
After the Autotune process has been completed, a tick will appear
next to the Autotune tab and there should be no need for further
adjustments. Fine tuning of these parameters are made by the
response control, however, viewing or changing the parameters can
be made in Auto mode by entering Installation in the Main menu.
Pilot response
The Autotune function is so refined that the majority of boats will
need no further adjustments of the steering parameters. On some
boats, however, in particular sea conditions a fine tuning of the
steering parameters may improve the performance of the autopilot.
The Response control allows you to make this fine tuning for each
of the two (Hi/Lo) parameter sets. The response can be set to
ninelevels.Level4isdefaultwithparametervaluesassetbythe
Autotune function. If no Autotune is made (not recommended) the
level4valuesarethefactorydefaultvalues.
•
A low response level reduces the rudder activity and provides a
more loose steering.
•
A high response level increases the rudder activity and provides a
more tight steering.

Note:
Adjustment of Hi and Lo values can be performed even with
the boat out of the water.
