Configuring the Wind Angle Filter
The wind angle filter governs how quickly the NMEA 2000-compatible display device shows a change in the wind angle. A lower filter setting
shows changes in the wind angle more gradually, and may stabilize the display.
To configure the wind angle filter:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select
2. Choose from the following options to adjust the filter settings.
•
Off—the wind angle data is not filtered.
•
On—select a lower number to update the display device less often, and help the gauge needle or wind angle number to move or change
more steadily.
•
Auto—automatically adjusts the filter settings based on wind conditions.
