Log Pulses - GPS SOG Log Pulse Output
This screen controls the output port (Pulse) of the speed over
ground log output from the receiver at a userdefined pulse rate per
nautical mile. This output is normally used to feed GPS SOG to the
ARPA. The default state is that the speed log is not active, and set
to 200 pulses per nautical mile. Refer to the Installation & Service
Manual for the hardware interface from one of the NMEA output
ports.
Activate the output by selecting Yes to Emulation Enable, select the
appropriate hardware port, and set the pulse rate - based on the
device that you are connecting to.
