NMEA to SeaTalk
The ST60 Multi instrument decodes certain data from NMEA when available, and
if the respective data is not already present on SeaTalk, transmits the decoded
data to SeaTalk. The data types and NMEA headers are:
1.7 Display settings
Illumination
When the instrument is first powered up, the display illumination is set to its
lowest (courtesy) level, to facilitate initial access to the keys. To adjust the level of
display illumination:
1. Hold down the key for approximately one second, to enter the illumina-
tion-adjust mode.
2. There are four preset illumination levels. Momentarily press the key to
cycle through these levels until you reach the level you want.
3. Press any other key to leave the illumination-adjust mode.
Note:
The display will also return to normal operation 7 seconds after the last key press.
