Meaning

AST Advanced Steering Technology (AST) is Raymarine’s unique advanced steering

algorithm. It uses inputs from a wide variety of sensors to tune the autopilot’s oper-

ation to provide superior control of the boat in any condition.

AutoLearn Self-learning calibration feature available on S1G, S2G and S3G autopilot systems.

AutoTrim The AutoTrim setting determines the rate at which the autopilot applies ‘standing

helm’ to correct for trim changes caused by varying wind loads on the sails or super-

structure.

counter rudder Counter rudder is the amount of rudder the autopilot applies to try to prevent the

boat from yawing off course. Higher counter rudder settings result in more rudder

being applied.

DC Direct current

EMC

(Electromagnetic

Compatibility)

When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These

can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another, and

this can degrade their performance. By following the EMC guidelines in this hand-

book, you can minimize these effects by ensuring optimum Electromagnetic Com-

patibility (EMC) between equipment.

Fluxgate Standard Raymarine compass supplied with course computer core pack

GPS Global Positioning System

GyroPlus Raymarine’s GyroPlus yaw sensor that measures the boat’s rate of turn. It is built

into the S1G, S2G and S3G course computers.

I/O drive Inboard/Outboard or stern drive

MOB Man overboard

nm Nautical mile

NMEA The NMEA (National Maritime Electronics Association) protocol is an internation-

ally accepted serial communication interface standard for sharing data between

electronic equipment. Raymarine products can share information with non-

SeaTalk equipment using the NMEA 0183 protocol.
