I/O Port Settings
NMEA input
Select the type of device connected to supply input on this port.
Choose from NMEA 4800 baud or NMEA 38400 baud.
NMEA output
Select the type of data to output on this port. Choose from NMEA-only
at 4800 baud, AIS-only and NMEA+AIS at 38400 baud.
Note:
All data
input on the NMEA input port is “repeated” on the NMEA
output port, regardless of this setting. This allows you to use the
AIS
WatchMate
to combine NMEA instrument data and the internally-
generated AIS and GPS data into a single combined output stream.
Note:
These settings apply only to the NMEA input and output ports.
They do not apply to the USB port. The USB port always operates at
38400 baud and outputs all available data.
Additional Settings

Resets all settings to the original factory values. Any settings you have
changed will be reset and you will lose any changes you have made.
When you select this setting a warning is displayed. To continue and
reset all settings, choose “
Yes
” to “Are you sure?” and press “
OK
”.
When you answer “
Yes
” or “
No
”, a message is briefly displayed
confirming your choice.
Settings Associated with Each Profile
The following settings are associated with a profile selection. Each profile (Harbor, Coastal,
Offshore, and Anchor) has it's own value for each of these settings. The setup screens
display the settings associated with the currently active profile. The name of the current
profile is shown on the top line of the screen. Any changes to these settings affect the
current profile only.
Hint:
To change the settings for a profile you must activate the profile first. Do this from the
main menu on the situation display before entering setup mode.
