Step 4 - Select VI setup profile 

The Virtual Indicator (VI) setup profile contains pre-set parameters for: input sources, scaling, headlines, labels, 

units, indicator behaviour and much more. 

Selecting a predefined profile makes complex 
setup simple, secure, and easy.  

The VI setup is related to the VI selected in the 
previous step, and there may be up to 50 VI 
setup profiles for each Virtual Indicator to select 
from. 

(In this example, there is only one VI setup).

Step 5 

– Finish – XDi without NX2 module  

When the first 4 selections are made, you can 
either press OK to finish the wizard and go to 
normal operation or select one of the detailed 
setup menus. 

Installation menu:

 change or fine-tune the 

predefined setup parameters. 

 

User menu: 

change dimmer, audio, and visual 

settings. 

 

Restart wizard: 

go back to start and make or 

change the PP or VI. 

In the installation and user menu, it is possible to adjust the pre-set parameters; detailed description of those 
menus will follow.  

4.7.6 

Step 5 

– NMEA setup – XDi with NX2 module  

In case an NX2 NMEA module is mounted on one of the XDi extension slots, the NMEA setup menu will be 
presented as the default selection.   

The preinstalled virtual indicator library must 
support NMEA input. 

Only XDi-N libraries will have full NMEA 
functionality and support NMEA input, output 
and routing. 

Dual and multi libraries may have support for 
NMEA output and very limited NMEA input 
function. If there is NMEA support, it will be 
clearly stated in the library description. 

Before you push “OK”, it is a good idea to make
