GPS NAVIGATOR
9 SPECIAL NMEA AND NEXUS APPLICATIONS
In some applications, you might need an EXTRA NMEA input port. This is possible by
using the NEXUS Server (with one Multi Control instrument) together with one NEXUS
GPS navigator instrument. This CONFIGuration will convert NMEA position to NEXUS
Network and the NEXUS GPS Navigator instrument will do the Navigation.
Example:
A boat is equipped with a NMEA GPS Antenna (or a NMEA 0183 navigator) and a
NEXUS Chartplotter (see also page 43,44 Tip! for the Chartplotter).
The active NMEA GPS Antenna is connected direct to the
NEXUS Server's NMEA input port and the Chartplotter is
connected to the NMEA input port and output port on the
NEXUS GPS NAVIGATOR instrument.
CONFIGuration in the NEXUS GPS instrument is: MASTER and NEXUS P0S.
The Server will then have one NMEA output port free for use with an Autopilot, radar,
MAXI Repeater or any other NMEA application. On the NEXUS Network, additional
transducers can be used for wind speed, wind angle, depth, log and compass heading.
