3.3 Wind Display Using the marine NMEA 0183 data protocol, wind data can be imported from external instru- ments into the Seatec devices. The received data is presented on a structured display. Winddirection Graphical display of the wind data received by NMEA. - Page 16 3.4 Highway Many autopilotes offer the possibility to send data via NMEA to Seatec devices. Incoming autopilot NMEA data is represented professionally in the highway view. Waypoint Name Displays the name of the waypoint, which is being driven. Next Waypoint Shows the position of the next waypoint.
- Page 17 3.5 Multidatadisplay The Seatec products provide incoming NMEA data such as speed over ground (SOG), water speed (log) and depth (Depth) presented in a structured data field. Moreover, the currently applied voltage is displayed on the device. Speed over ground (SOG) Represents the current speed over ground (SOG), which is transmitted through the GPS receiver.
- Page 18 Main Menu Settings In the main menu of Seatec AIS devices you can edit basic settings, set alarms and show incoming NMEA data sets. To access the main menu, press the “Menu” (1) button twice. Now you have access to the...
- Page 19 AIS SART Your Seatec AIS6/MFR6 is one of the devices on the market that is capable of an acoustic and visual alert for incoming AIS SART signals.
