Add an instrument
Use this to add a new instrument to your
Instruments
screen.
New instruments are always shown in the top left corner of the
Instruments
screen,
so if you want to locate a particular instrument in the top left corner, add this last
of all so that you don't need to reposition it.
The instrument must have been physically installed as part of your 8000i network,
and must send and receive data using NMEA or NavBus formats.

Display
then select

data. (If it's Off, the 8000i shows all the data channels that are
available.) Select the button to toggle the Active Channels button
On
,
if required.
5. Select
+
next to the data channel that is most appropriate for the
instrument that you're adding (for example, if you're adding a water

instrument data available from that data channel.

Next
.
7. The new instrument is shown immediately on the selected

screen in the top left corner.
