1.8 Response setup

The response level controls the relationship between course keeping accuracy and
the amount of helm/drive activity. User setup functions are accessed using a User
calibration mode. Information on other setup functions is given in the SmartPilot X-5
Sport Installation & Setup Guide.
Note:
You can also make temporary changes to response during normal operation, as de-
scribed earlier in this Chapter.

Options
1 9
Range = to .
Levels 9 to 7 give the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder
activity (and power consumption). This can lead to a rough passage
in open waters as the SPX-5 Wheel system may 'fight' the sea.
Levels 6 to 4 should give good course keeping with crisp, well
controlled turns under normal operating conditions.
Levels 3 to 1 minimize the amount of pilot activity. This conserves
power, but may compromise short-term course-keeping accuracy.
