Chapter 4: Operation
The ST50 Plus Wind can be used as a standalone unit or, when connected
to other
instruments, part of a fully integrated instrumentation
system. This integrated system can then be linked to any of the
compatible autopilots.
When the unit is powered-up apparent wind speed and angle or true wind
speed and angle will be displayed, depending on the last selection prior to the
power being turned off.
If the > key is pressed while in this mode, the
