On the display you will see the text TRM and AWA toggling
together with your Wind angle. On the graphic part you will see
your reference angle as one straight horizontal segment when
actual angle is equal to the pre-set angle. At the same time you
will see apparent and true Wind angle.
The deviation is displayed visible upwards or downwards from
the horizontal line to +/-15°. The maximum visible deviation is
15°. When the deviation is between 15° and 30° the 15° sector is
lit. When larger then 30° the segment sector is blanked out.
Trim on speed:
Select the trim function.
Press CLEAR. Select text (BSP) by pressing PLUS and confirm
with SET.
There is a number of different "speeds" to be used for trimming.
The most common is [BSP] (Boat SpeeD) and [VMG] (Velocity
Made Good).
The Wind Data instrument can also display deviation from
optimum calculated boat speed [TBS] or (Target Boat Speed).
The TBS is normally calculated by use of polar diagram on PC
with racing software. The value "Target Boat Speed" is
transmitted through the FI-30 Server on the NMEA 0183 input.
The Server will then transmit TBS on the Nexus Network.
On the Wind Data display you will see both the digital value in %
and the graphical value as a 2% variation for each segment.
You may select "speeds" to TRIM, from this list:
Boat speed
BSP
Apparent Wind Speed
AWS
True Wind Speed
TWS
Speed Over Ground
SOG
Drift
DRF
Speed towards a waypoint
WCV
Velocity Made Good
VMG

When [BSP] (or other function) is selected, the dampening [d3] is flashing. Select
dampening level and confirm with SET.
The text [% OFF] is then displayed to show that the function is selected, but no
reference is yet set.
