2.5.7 Advanced Configuration…
Certain parameters do not normally need to be set in order for normal operation, but are
included in an advanced configuration section for use in special situations.
2.5.7.1 Device Instance Configuration
This entry allows you to program the NMEA 2000 device instance for the unit. You usually will
not need to modify the default value of “0” unless you have multiple units on the network.
Device instance is always used in the Wind PGNs.
2.5.7.2 Instance-Humidity Configuration
This entry allows you to program the NMEA 2000 device instance for the humidity transmitted
in PGN 130313. You usually will not need to modify the default value of “0” unless you have
multiple humidity sensors on the network.
2.5.7.3 Instance-Pressure Configuration
This entry allows you to program the NMEA 2000 device instance for the air pressure
transmitted in PGN 130314. You usually will not need to modify the default value of “0” unless
you have multiple pressure sensors on the network.
2.5.7.4 Instance-Temperature Configuration
This entry allows you to program the NMEA 2000 device instance for the temperature
transmitted in PGN 130312. You usually will not need to modify the default value of “0” unless
you have multiple temperature sensors on the network. Note that the TMP100 module also
generates these PGNs.
2.5.7.5 Installation Description Configuration
The WSO100, along with all other Level A certified NMEA 2000 devices, has two user-
programmable installation description fields. You may program these fields with information
specific to the device, such as date installed, the initials/name of the installer, the physical
location of the device, etc. This configuration option will allow you to program the values of
these fields.
2.5.7.6 NMEA 2000 PGN Enable/Disable Configuration
The WSO100 is capable of transmitting NMEA 2000
®
messages. You may individually enable
or disable each of these messages. You may also change the rate of transmission of each of
these messages if desired.
2.5.7.7 Restore Factory Defaults
Selecting this configuration option causes all stored parameters in the WSO100 to be reset to
the values they contained when the unit was manufactured.
3 Operation
As shipped from the factory, the WSO100 automatically provides apparent wind direction,
apparent wind speed, outside air temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure and
