NMEA 2000 Checklist 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. To configure the wind angle filter: 1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select Config > Wind Angle Filter. 2. Choose from the following options to adjust the filter settings. • Off-the wind angle data is not filtered. • On-select a lower number to update the display device less often, and help the gauge needle or wind angle number to move or change more steadily. • Auto-automatically adjusts the filter settings based on wind conditions. Configuring the GWS 10 if the Filter and Offset Selections Are Not Displayed Depending on the version of software loaded on your Garmin marine instrument, the specific configuration options may not be displayed on the configuration screens. To configure the wind angle offset if the menu option is not displayed: 1. Select Generic Configuration to specify data for the filter and offset settings. 2. Enter the following command: "ANGLEOFFSET=" 3. Follow the command with a number between 0 and 359, in degrees (for example: ANGLEOFFSET=180). To configure the wind angle filter if the menu option is not displayed: 1. Select Generic Configuration to specify data for the filter and offset settings. 2. Enter the following command: "ANGLEFILTER=" 3. Follow the command with a number between 0 and 254, representing a time constant in increments of 0.25 second, or 255 to represent the Automatic setting (for example: ANGLEFILTER=12). To configure the wind speed filter: 1. Select Generic Configuration to specify data for the filter and offset settings. 2. Enter the following command: "SPEEDFILTER=" 3. Follow the command with a number between 0 and 254, representing a time constant in increments of 0.25 second, or 255 to represent the Automatic setting (for example: SPEEDFILTER=215).
