Auto Select
The Auto Select option looks for all sources connected to the device. If more than one source
is available for each data type, selection is made from an internal priority list. This option is
suitable for the majority of installations.
Manual source selection
Manual selection is generally only required where there is more than one source for the same
data, and the automatically selected source is not the one desired.
Group source selection
The unit can use the same data sources that all other products on the network use, or
alternatively use a data source independently from other units.
If the unit is part of a source group, all source selection changes will affect all units belonging
to the same group.
Ú
Note: In order to enable group selection, the unit must be set to the Simrad group.
Devices with no selected group can use different sources than the rest of the network
devices.
Advanced source selection
This allows the most flexible and precise manual control over which devices provide data.
Occasionally auto select might not assign the desired source, which can be corrected using
the advanced source selection.
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.
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.
J1939
Provides information on J1939-bus 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.
