Turn variables • Ref. depth: this is the reference depth for the DCT function. When DCT is initiated the autopilot reads the current depth and set this as the reference depth. The reference depth can be changed when the function is running • Depth gain: this parameter determines the ratio between commanded rudder and the deviation from the selected depth contour. The higher depth gain value the more rudder is applied. If the value is too small it will take a long time to compensate for drifting off the set depth contour, and the autopilot will fail to keep the boat on the selected depth. If the value is set too high the overshoot will increase and the steering will be unstable. • CCA: the CCA is an angle that is added to or subtracted from the set course. With this parameter you can make the boat yaw around the reference depth with s movements. The larger the CCA the bigger yawing will be allowed. If the CCA is set to zero there is no S-ing. Autopilot settings The Autopilot settings dialog depends on which autopilot computer that is connected to the system. If more than one autopilot is connected, the Autopilot settings dialog shows option for the active autopilot. 122 Chart compass Select to display a compass symbol around your boat on the chart panel.
