4.6 Connecting with NMEA0183 Devices
CAMINO-108 supports two NMEA0183 ports and each NMEA 0183 port’s
transmitting and receiving interface can be configured to 4800, 9600, or 38400 baud
rate independently. The default baud rate for both ports is 38400-bps. Use the
provided configuration utility to change baud rates. Typically the high speed setting is
intended primarily for chart plotter connection, while the low speed setting can be
used to connect to other NMEA0183 devices. The ports have bidirectional
multiplexing, which means any received messages via one port are automatically
transmitted to the other port and vice-versa.
