common functions. Right click the mouse to make it operational.
You can switch between the menu and chart cursor with a right
click (similar to the OP30 MENU key).
1.8 Network the GB40
The GB40 can be connected to a wide variety of compatible marine
devices, including Simrad's echosounder and radar. A qualified
marine electronics technician should perform these installations.
The GB40 integrated networking technology lets you connect two
or more display units in order to share navigation, sounder, radar,
entertainment, and instrumentation data. Any changes that you
make to any of these functions, such as creating a new waypoint
or saving a new video in the video jukebox, are instantly available
to everyone using the GB40 system.
If more than one display unit is used in the GB40 system, one of
them must be specified as the master unit. The other display units
are sometimes referred to as client units. The master unit MUST:
• have all the data wiring (such as NMEA) run to it. Incoming
navigation date, such as GPS and NMEA, is received by the
master unit and then distributed over the network to other
display units.
• have the chart license key connected to it. When the chart
license key is connected and the charts unlocked, other display
units can share the one license and display the charts.
• be operating in order for the other display units to function with
navigational information.
If the master unit is NOT operating, all the other display units will
show a grey screen with the message "Master “name”
unavailable". This will be the case for Chart, Radar, and 3D Chart.
1.9 Add an OP30 to a GB40
The GB40's primary controller is the Simrad OP30. Once the
SimNet network has been initialized you can add more controllers
(OP30s, a USB mouse or trackball) to the system if you want.
Networking an OP30 with a specific unit can be as simple or
detailed as you like. One GB40 can be controlled by several OP30s
or by a subset of controllers on the SimNet network but an OP30
Controller may only control a single GB40.
In multi-unit systems, setting up the master-client relationships
between the GB40s and your OP30 assignments will be done by
