6. Special Functions

6.1 Display of Software Version

It is possible to display the version number of both course computer and control unit
software installed in a particular system. This is achieved by pressing both the +10
and -10 keys together for 2 seconds and releasing the display will show the control
unit version (65 followed by version number) for 10 seconds followed by the course
computer version (66 followed by version number). The pilot must be in standby
mode at the time. Each version is displayed for 10 seconds before the pilot reverts
back to standby. A software history for each product is shown in the relevant service
sections.

6.2 Permanent Watch Alarm Mode

The ST6000 autopilot can be set up with a permanent watch alarm mode, as required
by the Sea Fish Industry authority (SFIA).
It must be stressed that the selection of this mode is permanent and can only
be reversed by returning the course computer to Nautech.
Permanent watch alarm is achieved by first entering the calibration menu. Once in
calibration, regardless of display message, press the Auto, Standby, and Track keys
together for 1 second before releasing. The display will now show 'SELECT WATCH'.
The user now has 10 seconds to select permanent watch alarm mode by again
pressing Auto, Standby and Track together for 1 second. The display will then show
'WATCH ON1 for 10 seconds before reverting back to 'CAL1. A normal exit from
calibration mode must now be executed.

6.3 Display Test Mode

All display segments on the control unit can be switched on by pressing the +10, -10,
Standby and Display keys together. This mode can only be accessed after the unit
has been powered up with the yellow data wire open circuit.
