How to Setup the Parameters

There are two methods for parameter setup; automatic setup and manual setup.
4.1.1

Automatic parameter setup

The NAVpilot-300 can automatically setup its operating parameters based on your
own ship characteristics and sea conditions. The system also has the ability to store
past parameters, thanks to the [Self Learning] feature.
1. Open the menu.
2. Select [Self Learning].
3. Select [ON] or [OFF] as appropriate.
• [ON]: Self Learning is enabled. The system monitors and records ship charac-
teristics and parameters such as rudder angle, trim, etc from the moment you
depart until you return to the dock.
• [OFF]: Self Learning is not enabled.
If you select [ON], proceed to the next step of this procedure.
If you select [OFF], close the menu.
4. Select [Deviation Level]. The deviation level sets the threshold for heading adjust-
ments made by the system. When [Self Learning] is set to [OFF], this menu item
is not available for selection.
5. Select [Auto] or [Level], as appropriate.
• [Auto]: The system automatically adjusts heading, regardless of how minor the
deviation may be.
• [Level]: Sets the threshold at which the system corrects heading.
If you select [Auto], close the menu.
If you select [Level], proceed to the next step of this procedure.
6. Select the [Level] value. A settings popup window appears.
7. Set the [Level].
A low setting regularly adjusts the rudder in order to keep a consistent heading.
A higher settings reduces the regularity at which the rudder is adjusted, however
heading is not consistent.
8. Close the menu.
