SERIAL DATA INTERFACE

Serial Port Input/Output

There are two serial ports, one presenting NMEA (RS422) format and the
other RS232 format. Data can be input from either or both ports.
The serial port interface(s) output:

screens including version numbers and memory status.

CSB200 over the VHF Data Link.
•
AIS regional channel assignment messages (ACA) received.
These are derived from an incoming VHF Data Link message
