III. Device Programming and Settings
Programming of the Device should not be performed at sea.
The Device can be programmed by three methods. Table 1 on the next page shows
the applicability of the methods for different settings. The following methods are
supported:
1. By a special sequence of datum or variation settings on a chart plotter (column
[1] at Table 1). This method is tricky, but it only requires a chart plotter
and it can be performed on legacy chart plotters. Tested with Garmin
and Raymarine chart plotters. See Section V for details.
2. With a special installation description string which can be entered
for the Device in PC software like CAN Log Viewer from our company, ActiSense
NMEA Reader or Maretron N2KAnayzer. This method is very simple and may
be supported in some models of chart plotters. Described in the next Section.
3. Using special PC software, including professional NMEA 2000 installer
software. The Device supports «Request Message», «Command Message»
and «Write Fields» functions of PGN 126208, which allows changing
of the Device settings.
