Communication with the Simrad PI Family catch monitoring
systems is based on NMEA telegrams. This is a two-way serial
communication line, and the following information is normally
exchanged:

• From PI to ES60: Data output (PSIMP,D)
The PI system can export other information as well, but only the
mentioned data can be processed and used by the echo sounder.
