Configuration windows
When you access the
Interface setup
, you must first wait for
the system to access the required information. Due to the
amount of choices available for the PI44, the interface
parameters are then organized in several dialogues.
Nodes:
This dialogue is only used if your PI44 is connected to
external devices using the SimNet nework interface.
PI Function:
This window allows you to define NMEA0183
output data on the two serial lines (NMEA1 and NMEA2).
Position:
This window allows you to define the source for an
external positioning system, in case you wish to use the position
information in the PI44 as well. You can also set up the PI44 to
export waypoints on one or both of the two serial lines.
Navigation:
This window allows you to define the source for an
external navigation system, in case you wish to use the
information from this in the PI44.
Water:
This window allows you to define the sources for
various water related sensors, such as depth (from an echo
sounder), temperature (from a thermometer) and speed (from a
speed log). You can also define several water related data
outputs on one or both of the two serial lines.
