Use the analogue steer pilot as a ”close hauled” instrument.
Example: You have selected 35° starboard side (35° |- STR) as
your tacking angle.

needle is at zero (0) you are at 160°. When the needle points 15°
starboard you are at 175°.
At night, when you can not see the wind shifts, the use of the
(AWA) function together with the analogue steer pilot is a very
helpful.
This is a dynamite function that allows you to ”expand” the
wind angles!!!
When a NX2 Autopilot is activated in wind mode, the (AWA)
function on the Multi Control instrument can be used to perform
an automatic tack.
The minus sign ( - ) in front of the wind angle value = port side.
The underlining sign ( _ ) in front of the wind angle value =
starboard side.
Simply change the value of the digit in front of the wind angle, and
the NX2 Autopilot will gibe to the opposite tack.
