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