Network groups
This function is used to control parameter settings, either globally or in groups of units. The
function is used on larger vessels where several units are connected to the NMEA 2000
network. By assigning several units to the same group, a parameter update on one unit will
have the same effect on the rest of the group members.
If any of the settings require discrete control, set the group to None.
Damping
If data appears erratic or too sensitive, damping may be applied to make the information
appear more stable. With damping set to off, the data is presented in raw form with no
damping applied.
Calibration
An offset (positive or negative) can be applied to correct data inaccuracies from NMEA 2000
sources.
Ú
Note:
Any calibrations made here will only be applied locally to this unit. Other devices
on the network will not have these offsets applied.
NMEA 2000 setup
Receive waypoint
Select this option to allow another device capable of creating and exporting waypoints via
NMEA 2000 to transfer directly to this unit.
Send waypoint
Select this option to allow this unit to send waypoints to another device via NMEA 2000.
Ú
Note:
The system can only transmit or receive one waypoint at a time on creation of that
waypoint. For bulk import or export of waypoints see the operator manual.
NMEA 0183 setup
The NMEA 0183 port(s) must be set to suit the speed of connected devices, and can be
configured to output only the sentences required by listening devices.
Receive waypoint
Select this option to allow a device capable of creating and exporting waypoints via NMEA
0183 to transfer directly to this unit.
Baud rate
This should be set to correspond with devices connected to the NMEA 0183 input and
output. The input and output (Tx, Rx) use the same baud rate setting.
Ú
Note:
AIS transponders typically operate at NMEA 0183-HS (high speed), and will require
the baud rate to be set to 38,400.
Serial Output
Selection determines whether the data is output via Tx lines, and will enable editing of the
output sentences list.
Serial output sentences
This list allows control over which sentences need to be transmitted to other devices from
the NMEA 0183 port. Due to the limited bandwidth of NMEA 0183 it is desirable to only
