The ST70 Pilot can display current pilot data in one of three ways:
• Heading
• 2D - Compass rose
• 3D - Isometric
Refer to Section 3.3, Pilot view.

1.3 Operating principles

The ST70 Pilot has two main modes of operation: Standby and Auto.
With the ST70 in Standby, the helm is free for manual steering and all setup functions
and calibrations can be performed. These settings are stored in the Course
Computer.
When in Auto mode, manual steering is not possible and the autopilot drives the helm.
First use after installation
When the ST70 Pilot controller is first switched on after installation it will require
commissioning.
Details of how to set these values and commission the Pilot are given in the ST70
Autopilot Controller/SmartPilot X Commissioning Instructions.
Note:
The values set during initial setup can be changed subsequently via the Main Menu.
Normal operation
