Device list
Selecting a device in this list will bring up additional details and options for the device.
All devices allow allocation of an instance number in the configure option. Set unique
instance numbers on any identical devices on the network to allow the unit to distinguish
between them. The data option shows all data being output by the device.
Ú
Note: In most cases, setting the instance number on a 3rd party product is not possible.
Display assignment
Display assignment must be performed to enable the Home button on MO series monitors. It
also ensures that when pressed, the home page is opened on the correct monitor.
This option must be set separately on both monitors connected.
Ú
Note: This feature is dependant on both the MPU and the MO series monitor being
connected to the NMEA 2000 network.
Diagnostics
Provides information useful for identifying an issue with the network.
NMEA 2000
Provides information on NMEA 2000-bus activity.
Ú
Note: The following information might not always indicate an issue that can be simply
resolved with minor adjustment to network layout or connected devices and their
activity on the network. However, Rx and Tx errors are most likely indicating issues with
the physical network, which can be resolved by correcting termination, reducing
backbone or drop lengths, or reducing the number of network nodes (devices).
UDB
Provides information on Ethernet activity.
SimNet groups
This function is used to control parameter settings, either globally or in groups of units. The
function is used on larger vessels where several units are connected to the NMEA 2000
network. By assigning several units to the same group, a parameter update on one unit will
have the same effect on the rest of the group members.
If any of the settings require discrete control, set the group to None.
Damping
If data appears erratic or too sensitive, damping may be applied to make the information
appear more stable. With damping set to off, the data is presented in raw form with no
damping applied.
Calibration
An offset (positive or negative) can be applied to correct data inaccuracies from NMEA 2000
sources.
Ú
Note: Any calibrations made here will only be applied locally to this unit. Other devices
on the network will not have these offsets applied.
NMEA 2000 setup
Receive waypoint
Select this option to allow another device capable of creating and exporting waypoints via
NMEA 2000 to transfer directly to this unit.
Send waypoint
Select this option to allow this unit to send waypoints to another device via NMEA 2000.
