signals every second (see LED signals in Section VI).
If the Device is connected to a network having a chartplotter or any other device
transmitting a PGN 0x1F814 (129044) message with chart datum configuration
or PGN 0x1F11A (127258) with data on magnetic variation, the Device will produce
six LED signals with a period of 0.5 seconds when such message is received
for the first time after power is on. This usually happens within 15 seconds after
the Device is turned on. The signal series confirms the Device is properly connected
to the NMEA 2000 network and the chartplotter is able to receive data from
the Device.
The Device information should be displayed in the list of NMEA 2000 devices
(SeaTalk NG, SimNet, Furuno CAN) or in the common list of external devices
on the chartplotter (see Figure 2). Usually, access to this list is in the "Diagnostics",
"External Interfaces" or "External devices" menu.
Data from the Device are available to all the equipment connected to the network
and can be displayed simultaneously on several chartplotters and digital navigation
instruments.
Under the factory settings, the Thermometer shows measured data as air temperature.
The Barometer always shows the measured data as atmospheric pressure, regardless
of the user’s settings.
Switch to the chartplotter screen, which provides information about the atmospheric
pressure (for the Barometer) and air temperature (for the Thermometer) or add this
indicator to the screen using instructions supplied with your equipment. Data in the
indicator should begin to appear no later than 5 seconds after turning the Device on.
Data is updated at an interval of 500 milliseconds.
Many chartplotters and digital navigation instruments are able to display data
