MODES OF OPERATION PilotStar NX provides three main operating modes: Heading control mode, NAV mode, NFU/FU control mode. Heading control mode The user enters a set heading and PilotStar NX steers the vessel on that heading automatically. NAV mode A route is planned on a GPS receiver, chart plotter or equivalent navigation system. PilotStar NX follows the set point commands from such systems. NFU/FU control The rudder is controlled manually by using the soft buttons on the touch display or by using the rotary knob.

FURTHER USEFUL FEATURES PilotStar NX provides useful features for special applications but also for day-to-day use. “Trim mode” optimizes heading control for vessels with asymmetrical loads, such as fishing vessels and tugs. This mode reduces rudder activity and optimizes steering performance. “Fix turn” allows pre-defined heading changes with a single push of a button. Useful, among others, for fishing vessels, tugs and search operations. The heading & rudder plot makes the steering performance transparent and allows for simple adjustments of autopilot parameters in order to achieve best...
