34 RayTech RNS - Getting Started
To install RNS to a B & G Performance Board:
1. Install a jumper on the performance board between Pin 7 (RTS) and Pin 8 (CTS).
2. Set the Output Baud Rate setting (cross track error calculation value 2) to 6.4 bps.
Refer to the relevant Manufacturers handbook for instructions.
To connect RNS to a B & G NMEA FFD display
Connecting to KVH Instruments
RNS connects to KVH instruments via the KVH NMEA box or Race box interface
devices. Connecting via the Race box has the advantage of automatically sending RNS
data back to the KVH system displays. Using the Race box also requires you to use the
NMEA box, because the Race box does not propagate all of the NMEA data.
For details of how to connect to an NMEA box, refer to the section NMEA basics in this
appendix.
To connect RNS to a Race box:
