sensors must be connected. Typical sensors are those providing navigational information
(heading, speed or geographical position). To select which sensors to install, use the

page. Your current position is shown on the top bar if you have enabled this

dialog box.

This procedure assumes that:
• You have a vacant interface port on your Processor Unit.
• You are familiar with NMEA and other relevant datagram formats.
• You know how to set up the parameters for serial and local area network (LAN)
communication.
• The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
• The CS90 system is turned on and operates normally.
• The new sensor is physically connected to the CS90 system using a serial or network
cable. The sensor is turned on and in normal operation.
Neither tools nor instruments are required.
