1. Power up all the units on the SimNet bus and all
connected NMEA0183 products.
2. Make an NMEA0183 setup if required on the relevant
products as per the individual product manuals.
3. Verify that all data are present and displayed on all
connected products as expected.
Multiple sources
The system contains more than one data source for one or more
DataTypes:
1. Power up all the products except the ones that shall not
be
used as data sources, i.e. power to only one source for
each DataType (Appendix 2).
2. Make NMEA0183 setup if necessary (See above).
3. Verify that all data are present and displayed on all
connected products as expected.
4. You may now power up the products that you do not
want
to act as sources. – These products will be excluded as
sources for the group.
Note ! If it has no significance which source is selected, just power up
all units. The first one that is active with a specific DataType will
be selected as source and remembered.
If you make a mistake, a “Master Reset” or a “Source Reset”
will clear the source selection and you may try again. Refer to
the product manuals on how to perform a “Source reset” or
“Master Reset”.
Note ! If you perform a “Master Reset” on the autopilot, you will have
to make a complete setup as per the autopilot manual.
Changing source on a Class 2 product
To make a Class 2 product change data source will require a
master or source reset. After that, follow the procedure under
“Multiple sources” above.
3.6 Identification of Data Sources
SimNet identifies products by a set of rules described below. See
also Appendix 3 on page 41.
