when you are sailing above your target speed, and lowers when you are below it.
Similarly, the Multi XL has a trim feature which will tell you what percentage you are
below or above your target speed. NXR instruments have similar features.
You can control whether it is TBS or PBS which is sent to the Nexus network by
changing a setting in the Race Box configuration file. If you wish to send PBS to the
network, ensure that the following line is in the configuration file:
TBS_DATA=PBS
If you prefer that TBS be sent to the network, then change the above line to:
TBS_DATA=TBS
Be sure you do not have both lines in the file at the same time, unless of course one of
them is commented out.
4.4.3 Displaying TBS and PBS in Other Fields
If you like, you can also cause the value of both TBS and PBS to be displayed in other
fields. The Nexus system has “custom data fields” which can display certain types of
data. These are available on the NX2 instruments and the Multi XL instruments and
some of the NXR instruments. The NXR instruments have ten “custom data fields”
which can display other information. For example, they can display information from
load cells. We can tell the Race Box to send TBS and PBS to them for display. You
won't be able to use the trim percentage or other TBS specific functions, but you will be
able to see the target speed so you can compare it to your actual speed.
To do this, set the following lines in the configuration file:
CAD=PBS
CFD=TBS
These lines will cause polar boat speed to be sent to the CAD field and target boat
speed to be sent to the CFD field. To send data to the custom fields of the NXR series:
CUSTOM0=TBS
CUSTOM1=PBS
This will cause target boat speed to be sent to custom 0 while polar boat speed is sent
to custom 1. If you wish to send this data to different custom fields, simply change the
number after the word CUSTOM. Valid numbers are from 0 to 9.
Please refer to the manuals for your NX2 or NXR instruments to learn how to make
CAD, CFD and CUSTOM0 through CUSTOM9 display.
