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.
