a) Tracking Gain
When the ship leaves the route, this setting determines how tightly the course is maintained.
There are three settings: [Low] [Mid] [High]. An example of the difference between the own
ship cross track distance (XTD) and strength with which the ship returns to the route
depending on the tracking gain setting is shown below. The set heading when deviating to
the port side when the ship's heading is 0 degrees and the route heading is also 0 degrees is
shown.
High
Note:
• The graph above is only one example. The actual values will differ from those in the graph
depending on the constant of the ship and its equipment.
