Threaded Mode | Linear Mode

First I have no rudder reference sensor.
My boat is a Bayliner 1987 Bayliner 3270 twin rudders.
No GPS or speed data connected.

I have software versions: EV-1 Sensor V2.17
ACU100 V2.17
P70Rs V3.07

Since my first post I set the rudder angle to 30 degrees default value and the hard over time to the default value of 10 degrees and went on an 8 hour cruise. At first the pilot behaved badly but by the end of the day it was maintaining a course of plus or minus 3 degrees in cruise mode with perfect sea conditions. I have had several trips since then and the system is working well.

I never did an hard over so I do not know if the 10 seconds setting is correct.

The only thing now is the maximum deviation is not determined it still says '--' after several cruises.

The P70 is displaying 'detecting magnetics' with a little red led. I moved the EV-1 to a different location but got the same result.

The Heading displayed by the P70 is a couple degrees off from my magnetic compass, I thought that was acceptable.
