seatrial calibration
The following parameters should be set and checked during the initial sea trial.
Compass Swing
Rudder Amidships
Boat Lag
Rudder Gain
The sea trial calibration should be carried out in open water on a calm day. The procedures for the
remainder of the calibration involve continual course and speed changes. It is very important to
maintain a constant lookout at all times. Use proper seamanship when clearing turns to ensure the
calibration is carried out safely.
The autopilot will be initially operating from the factory default values for boat lag and rudder gain.
During the sea trial the pilot learning algorithm will automatically set and adjust the value for rudder
gain. The values for boat lag and rudder gain will be checked and adjusted to finely tune the autopilot
steering performance when necessary. The default values are automatically set depending upon the
type of vessel selected under boat type.
