76 ST7001+ Autopilot Control Unit - Owner’s Handbook
7 Adjusting Autopilot Settings
7.1 Calibration basics
Calibration groups
Note: If you are connecting the ST7001+ to a non-150/400 autopilot
system, the calibration groups are different. Refer to the Appendix for
full details.
The Calibration mode has 4 main calibration groups:
Display Calibration (DISPLAY CAL)
The items in Display Calibration only affect the individual control
unit. They are stored in the control unit and do not affect any other
control units connected through SeaTalk.
You can adjust the Display Calibration settings as often as necessary
– for example, to add or change information displayed on data pages
User Calibration (USER CAL)
The items in User Calibration vary according to the Vessel Type you
have selected in Dealer Calibration.
You will probably need to access User Calibration on a fairly regular
basis to adjust the autopilot settings in response to changing
conditions.
Seatrial Calibration (SEATRIAL CAL)
The Seatrial Calibration group is specifically designed for use during
the initial autopilot seatrial (see page 63 of Chapter 6 for full details).
You should not need to access Seatrial Calibration during normal
autopilot operation.
Dealer Calibration (DEALER CAL)
The Dealer Calibration group includes items that have a significant
impact on autopilot operation and can affect your boat’s safety.
After you have completed the initial installation and seatrial, you
should not normally need to alter the Dealer Calibration values. The
items in Dealer Calibration vary according to the Vessel Type you
have selected.
