2.4 Response Levels
The response level controls the relationship between course keeping accuracy and
the amount of helm/drive activity. You can make temporary changes to response
during normal operation, as described in Chapter 3:Operating instructions .
Setting the Response level determines how quickly the pilot responds to a change in
conditions.
1. Press
MENU
, then use < and > to scroll to the
Response Level screen and press
ENTER
.
2. Use < and > to increase or decrease the setting
as required, from 1 to 9, where 1 is slow and 9 is
fast. You may have to experiment to find out the
appropriate response level for your vessel.
3. Press
ENTER
to accept the new value and exit,
or
CANCEL
to exit without making any change.
Setting Options
Levels1 to 3 Minimize the amount of pilot activity. This conserves power, but may
compromise short-term course-keeping accuracy
Levels 4 to 6 Should give good course keeping with crisp, well controlled turns
under normal operating conditions
Levels7 to 9 give the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity (and
power consumption). This can lead to a rough passage in open
waters as the SPX system may ‘fight’ the sea.
