Another SeaTalk 1 system upgrade.

Bradley,

As you have indicated that heading and rudder angle data items were being populated on the MFD, the autopilot course computer's SeaTalkng communications port would be deemed to be operational. The last test verified that the SeaTalk communications circuitry of the autopilot course computer and control head are operational. This bit of fault isolation in conjunction with you earlier statement that the autopilot course computer and ST-STng Converter had been updated with the latest software, it would appear to point to an issue with the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter. Should the Smart Controller have functioned correctly when interfaced to the ST6001 when it was interfaced to the autopilot course computer's SeaTalk port, then it too would be considered to be operational. Accordingly, it is recommended that the ST-STng Converter be sent to Raymarine’s Product Repair Center to be bench checked / serviced.
