将 HR Processor 与 HR Pilot 的组合公认为高性能自动驾驶解决方案。
新的 Processor V3.7 是最新开发的成果，能够立即提供最苛刻水手所期望的性能。设置现在可直接从 Multigraphic 进行访问。
这款高端自动驾驶与运动参考单元结合，可对航向变化快速响应并降低风力数据噪声，使测得的表观风得以根据艇体运动和速度加速进行校正。使用干净的真实风数据进行操舵时，自动驾驶动作更平顺，减少舵的动作。其结果是对船速的负面影响更小，功率消耗降低约40%。

Features
The HR Processor is the heart of nke systems, has low power consumption, and is lightweight and robust. It processes all the required data and interfaces with sensors, displays, commands and computers on board:
- Accurate and sensitive measurements of wind, boat speed, speed over ground and the boat’s motion.
- High data rate (high frequency sampling and fast processing of sensors and autopilot actions and fast data display refresh).
- Enhanced true wind processing by correcting data dynamically from the mast head sensor with the mast and boat motion data through the correction table.
- Data logger (black box designed for sailing around the world, with 25Hz data rate).
- Measurement of the behaviour of the hull and mast distortion (angles, accelerations, rate of turn, magnetometric vector).
- Improvement of the autopilot steering thanks to sensor enhancement (data rate and noise reduction of wind measurement), addition of new steering modes using polar tables.
- Possible operation with true heading (geomagnetic field model).
- Management of sensor reliability, autopilot modes toggle.
- Upgradable (via e-mail, customization of variables and values displayed, hardware extensions with USB, Ethernet or WiFi, etc.).
- The Gust mode: The autopilot acts on the course to steer when a gust occurs. When the wind speed reduces, the autopilot goes back to the set up course to steer. The course to steer deviation is preset according to wind speed and angle.
- The Surf mode: Designed to deal with boat speed acceleration on waves when sailing downwind: The course to steer is axiomatically adjusted to steer the boat on the ideal track when planning just like an experienced sailor would (take the advantage of planning without affecting the route). The result is impressive. The first sailors who tried it: Frédéric Denis on the Mini Transat; Victorien and Thibault on their Class40 Solidaires En Peloton on the Transat Jacques Vabre.
