In attempt to improve the operation of my Autohelm st4000+ autopilot I installed a rudder position sensor (rps).  Got it installed (a real pita) but I don't see the display I expected.  The manual isn't clear to me what I should see.   I just don't see bars or a pointer on the display when I move the rudder.  I did go into the set-up and add the rps.  I did a resistance check on the outputs and as best as I can tell (don't have factory values) every thing seems to be working.  My question for those who use a rps is.  What should the display look like?
Thanks,
Jim

Sounds like it is set to "No Bar"... Go into set up and check the Rudder Bar setting first..

I did that.  I'll recheck it to see that it took.
Thanks
