SeaTalk can also communicate with non-SeaTalk equipment, using the internationally-accepted National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol. In a SeaTalk system, each instrument can be either a master or dedicated repeater unit. A master instrument is directly connected to a transducer (the device that provides the raw data) and has control of all other equipment on the SeaTalk network.
