ST80 System Overview
In todays world of marine electronics, we expect a more control at
our fingertips.
Navigation receivers give our position, electronic chart plotters
provide accurate chart information and autopilots keep us on track
on long passages. Performance monitoring instruments tell us
anything from speed over the water to the best course to steer to a
target waypoint.
The problem with conventional instrumentation is that the more
information you require the more space must be found to install the
additional displays. Lack of space often leads to compromise – you
can install the display where you can see it or where you can reach it
– but not always both! You may also want to have access to several
bits of information but the instrument to hand provides only one.
With ST80, all these limitations disappear. ST80 allows you to site
displays exactly where you want them and to display as much or as
little information as you require. Gone are the days when you wish
you could make a display vanish to make way for the information
you actually want — all you have to do is select the page of
information on the display nearest to you.
Although ST80 is an extremely sophisticated and comprehensive
electronics system, ease of use has not been compromised.
Operation of the primary displays revolves around a chapters and
pages concept — simply turn to the chapter containing the
information you require and “flick” the pages until the appropriate
page is displayed.

1.1 General
D2031-1
masterview
The Masterview is a powerful multi-function instrument capable of
displaying SeaTalk data in alphanumeric and graphic formats.
Operation revolves around a “Chapters and Pages” concept. There are
11 chapters, each with multiple pages containing information related
to the main chapter – a chapter is effectively an individual SeaTalk
instrument. This allows you to configure display heads for different
functions (for example, speed, depth, wind, position, heading).
The Masterview uses icons and screen prompts to guide you through
the various chapters, pages and special functions. This approach
makes the Masterview extremely easy to use.
When the Masterview is linked to an ST80 autopilot keypad, the
Masterview becomes a fully featured autopilot control centre.
In addition to the Autopilot keypad, the Navigator and Remote
keypads provide even more operating features. The Navigator allows
you to create, review and edit alphanumeric waypoint data. The
Remote allows you to operate the Masterview from a remote location.
