Exporting the log file
The log file can be exported from the files dialog.
When you select the Log database you are prompted to select a destination folder and
filename. Once accepted, the log file is written to the chosen location.
RSD sentence output
The output of RSD NMEA 0183 message can be enabled (default off) to provide cursor
position information to an external device. The cursor position information may be used by
devices such as thermal cameras with pan-tilt ability, and external radar displays.
Ú
Note:
The sentence format (dictated by NMEA 0183) was not written to take in to
consideration dual radar systems, and therefore does not transmit identification
information to distinguish between sources. When two radar PPIs are shown on the
screen at the same time, only the first (left hand) radar provides RSD information.
RSD
is
shown on the radar PPI to indicate this feature is enabled.
Software upgrades
The latest software is available for download from our website, www.bandg.com.
Before initiating an update to the unit itself, be sure to back up any potentially valuable user
data. Refer to
"Backing up your system data"
on page 133.
The system or the Network analyzer and service assistant can advise software updates are
available.
Network analyzer and service assistant
The system has a built-in service assistant that creates a report of the devices installed on the
NMEA 2000 and Ethernet network such as the software versions, serial numbers, and
information from the settings file to assist in technical support enquiries.
To use the analyzer, open the About page of the System settings dialog and select Support.
Two options are displayed:
Create report
Analyzes your network and prompts you for information required for support and creates the
report with information automatically gathered from the network. You can add screenshots
and log files that will be attached to the report. There is a 20MB limit for the report
attachments. You can save the report to a memory card and email it to support or upload it
directly if you have an internet connection. If you call technical support first, you can enter an
incident number to assist with tracking.
Check system for updates
Analyzes your network and checks if updates are available for compatible devices.
Ú
Note:
Connect your unit to the internet to check for the latest available software
versions. The software versions will be up to date as of the last time you updated your
unit or connected to the internet.
