[CA] [CA11] Autopilot pump question

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Bill,

As you have suggested, Evolution autopilots are dependent upon speed data. Speed data may be provided to the autopilot via any of the following means:

- a speed through water (STW) sensing device has been interfaced to the system ... this option will provide the best performance, particularly for those operating at slower speeds

- a source of GPS data has been interfaced to the system ... this option is quite adequate for the majority of Evolution autopilot systems

- user specified speed value

The command sequence MENU->SET-UP->AUTOPILOT CALIBRATION->VESSEL SETTINGS->SPEED INPUT is used to select one of the above listed speed input options for the Evolution autopilot to use.
