Example

 : Sending & Receiving SeaTalk Data to/from a Computer 

 
 
 
 
In this configuration SeaTalk 
Data can be received from the 
Computer AND the computer 
can send Data to the SeaTalk 
bus. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Example

 : Connecting a Garmin GPS, and Computer and the SeaTalk Bus. 

 

 
In this configuration the GPS 
sends Data to the Computer 
AND to the SeaTalk bus. 
The Computer can only 
receive Data from the GPS 
and from the SeaTalk bus. It 
can not send any data.
