It takes two seconds to transmit all 16 NMEA sentences.
To double the transmission speed, select a NMEA sentence 2 times with 7 slots apart,
that is the slots should be as far away from each other as possible.
In a similar way, you can select the a sentence 4 times to make it 4 times faster.
Example: If you want to transmit the FI-30 compass heading via NMEA, to for example
an autopilot, select (HDM) for every odd slot number, C79, C81, C83 ... C93, that is 8
times which makes the speed 4 times / second. This leaves the other 8 slots with even
numbers, C78, C80, C82 ... C92 free to use for other NMEA sentences.
For connection of NMEA instruments OUT from Server, (see).

12.7.3 Receive NMEA sentences IN to Server

There are 6 different main types of NMEA sentences:
1) Position related data: Position, SOG/COG, time, and a limited amount of satellite
status if a GPS is connected.
2) Navigation data: (BTW), (DTW), (BOD), (XTE), (SET) and (DRIFT).
The Server will automatically send data to the Nexus Network. E.g.: (DRIFT), (WCV),
(TTG) and (CTS).
3) Speed data: is read only if (C73 BSP) is set to (ON). See 12.6.4
4) Depth data: is read only if (C74 DEP) is set to (ON). 12.6.5
5) Compass data: is read only if (C75 CMP) is set to (ON)12.6.6. Heading is either
(HDT) (priority) or (HDM). Magnetic variation (from Nexus Network) is added to (HDM)
but not to (HDT).
6) Wind data: angle and wind speed is read from (MWV) data, only if (C76 WND) is
set to (ON) See12.6.7. True wind angle and wind speed is calculated by Nexus, when
the boat speed (the speed of the water) is known.
