The Device has a bi-directional converter between NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183
protocols. NMEA 0183 protocol has been widely supported in marine applications
since the last millennium. So the Device is compatible with virtually all marine
software, except applications especially designed for use only with specific hardware.
A powerful system of data filters allows configuring data output for feature-limited
mobile applications.
The Gateway also supports RAW protocol, which is supported in a popular
Expedition 10 and CAN Log Viewer. It allows transferring of any NMEA 2000
messages (including proprietary messages) to an application and in the reverse
direction. This protocol is open and is also supported by our USB Gateway. We hope
that it will be popular among software developers, because it is very simple and free.
We hope that you’ll like this tiny and low power Device. Thank you for purchasing
our product and happy voyages!
