V. Device Programming and Settings
The Device can be programmed by three methods. Table 1 on the next page shows the applicability
of the methods for different settings. The following methods are supported:
1.
By a special sequence of datum or variation settings on a chart plotter (column [1] at Table 1).
This method is tricky, but it only requires a chart plotter and it can be performed on legacy
chart plotters. Tested with Garmin and Raymarine chart plotters. See chapter VII for details.
2.
With a special installation description string which can be entered for the Device iin PC software
like CAN Log Viewer from our company, ActiSense NMEA Reader or Maretron N2KAnayzer.
This method is very simple and may be supported in some models of chart plotters. Described
in the next chapter.
3.
Using special PC software, including professional NMEA 2000 installer software. The Device
supports “Request Message”, "Command Message" and "Write Fields" functions of PGN 126208,
which allows changing of the Device settings.
Programming of the Device should not be performed at sea.
