CONFIGURING THE (GAUGE1) AS RUDDER INDICATOR

Picture
The Rudder Indicator  consists of the Digital value part, the graphic presentation and the led indicator. the Green LED on top of digital value devides the full scale in 10 parts and indicates the location of the steering.

Autopilot Stby indicator, Autopilot Auto indicator, Rudder pump indicator
The min scale, max scale and the name can be adjusted by pressing the <GAUGES> button in the configuration page.

The NMEA sentence related to rudder indicator is the $--RSA

Ratio

The ratio in Graphic condition is set to 3 in order to multiply Rudder Value x 3

The divisions on the picture that represents the Graphic rudder are designed every 9 degrees


Offset

The offset is set to 90 because the required (0 point)

is +90 from 0 of a geometrical xx’ axis


For the conditions related to indicators (Stby, Auto, Pump) will discuss later in the section of the Discrete configuration setup
