Response Level - Raymarine ST7001 Operating Manual

26

Response level

This sets the default SmartPilot response level setting. 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 (see Operation Guide).

ST7001+ Smartpilot Controller Operating Guide
Options
Range = 1 to 9
levels 9 to 7 gives the tightest course keeping and greatest
rudder activity (and power consumption). This can lead to a
rough passage in open waters as the SmartPilot may 'fight'
the sea.
levels 6to 4 should give good course keeping with crisp,
well controlled turns under normal operating conditions
levels 3 to 1 minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This con-
serves power, but may compromise short-term course-keep-
ing accuracy
Options
AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband)
The SmartPilot will gradually ignore repetitive boat move-
ments and only react to true variations in course. This provides
the best compromise between power consumption and
course keeping accuracy
AutoSeastate off (minimum deadband)
This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to
increased power consumption and drive unit activity
AutoSeastate off + counter rudder yaw damping
This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping by
introducing counter rudder yaw damping
