Operation

The B&G Triton system is a networked multifunction instrument display and Pilot controller. The display shows speed, depth, heading, position, wind and environmental data measured by sensors and other equipment connected to the system.

Navigational data, engine/battery status and vessel parameters such as accumulated log and rudder angle may also be displayed.

The instrument calculates speed trim, wind, trip distance and time, average speed, set and drift parameters. A race timer is also included.

If a compatible autopilot is installed and connected to the same network it can be controlled by the Pilot controller.
