How to Set Up the I/O Menu

Besides its fundamental function of displaying position, the SC-70/SC-130 can also
output various data to external equipment. Before outputting data to external equip-
ment, first determine what data the external equipment requires. Only the necessary
data should be output, to ensure that the data will be output correctly.
All data transmitted by marine electronics equipment are prefixed with a two character
code, known as a "talker". The same talker must be shared by the transmitting and
receiving equipment to transmit and receive data successfully.
