[CA] Axiom 9 with Seatalk-SeaTalkng converter

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Jorgen,

You're welcome. Axiom MFDs may indeed be used with legacy autopilots having a SeaTalk communications interface which are compatible with the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter. One may verify communications between the MFD and autopilot by configuring the MFD to display the Heading data item. Should the Heading data item be populated, then the MFD has been determined to be be communicating with the autopilot. As specified within my initial response, it will not be possible to use the Axiom MFD's Autopilot Controls feature with any type of autopilot other than a Raymarine Evolution autopilot. However, it will be possible to command navigation (i.e. GoTo Waypoint/Cursor or Follow Route via the MFD) and then use the autopilot control head, S100, or SmartController to then command the autopilot into Track Mode. This is much the same procedure which would have been followed prior to the introduction of the Autopilot Controls feature within Raymarine MFDs.
