To program the Device, enter a special string starting with «YD:» to the installation
description field 2 in the Device properties. For example, «YD:DEV 1» (without
quotes) will change the NMEA 2000 device instance of the Device to 1. If the command
is accepted by the Device, it will add «DONE» to the entered text and «YD:DEV 1
DONE» will be displayed in this installation description field. If a command is entered
without the last parameter, the device replies with the current value of the parameter.
In Figure 1 on the previous page, you can see the process of programming the Device
with free CAN Log Viewer software (to open this window, select the item «NMEA
2000 Devices» in the «View» menu, refresh the list of devices, select the device
and click «Properties» button). You can download this program (runs on Microsoft
Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) at:
