Minimum rudder
Some vessels may have a tendency of not responding to small
rudder commands around the "course keeping" position because
of a small rudder, a rudder deadband or whirls/disturbance of the
water-stream passing the rudder.
By turning the Minimum Rudder function 'On', it may improve
the course keeping performance on some boats, but will increase
the rudder activity.
Note !
During the sea trial, only set Minimum Rudder to ON if it proves
to give a better course keeping performance in calm sea. It
should be set after the autotune has been performed and a
possible fine tune of the Rudder parameter (page 111).
Compass calibration
This function will activate the compass calibration procedure for
Simrad compasses connected to Robnet2 and the Autopilot
Computer terminals (HS).

The optional RC36 Rate Compass will store the calibration
and off-set data in its own memory.
Compass calibration for the compass connected to the HS
terminal will be stored in the Autopilot Computer memory.
Calibration is made on the compass that is active for the
autopilot. The active compass is the one that is displayed on
the compass calibration screen.
RATE-0 = Rate compass, FLUX-0 = Fluxgate compass on
HS terminals.
If an optional NMEA compass from Simrad or another
manufacturer is installed, also refer to the optional
compass' manual regarding calibration. This compass will
not be calibrated by the autopilot.
Configuration and setup
Turn the minimum rudder on by
pressing the STBD 10 button.
Range: OFF-ON.
