2.8.1 Checking Connections
®
Once the NMEA 2000
connection to the Maretron DST110 have been completed, check to see
that speed, depth, and temperature information is being properly transmitted by observing an
appropriate display. Refer to Section 5, "Troubleshooting", if no heading information appears,
otherwise proceed to Section 3 entitled "Configuring the DST110".
3 Configuring the DST110
Several parameters of the DST110 are user-programmable. You configure the DST110 using
®
Maretron N2KAnalyzer
software or a Maretron DSM150/DSM250 display or other NMEA
®
2000
display unit that is capable of configuring the DST110. Please refer to the Maretron
N2KAnalyzer User's Manual, DSM150 User's Manual, or DSM250 User's Manual, as
®
appropriate, for details. users with direct access to the NMEA 2000
interface can perform
®
transducer offset calibration directly through the NMEA 2000
interface (see Appendix A).
3.1 Advanced Configuration
3.1.1 Device Instance
®
NMEA 2000
provides a unique device instance for each class of device on a vessel. This value
should be programmed in each DST110 so that each DST110 is associated with a unique device
instance number. The default instance number is 0, which is used to indicate the first DST110
that is connected to the network. Other DST110's or devices transmitting similar information
would be numbered 1, 2, and so on. The device instance number is used for parameters sent
via the PGN 128267 Water Depth, PGN 128259 Speed, PGN130310 Environmental
Parameters, and PGN 128275 Distance Log messages.
3.1.2 Instance Temperature
The temperature instance is used to distinguish this DST110 from other devices on the
network transmitting the same data. The Temperature Instance is used for parameters send
via the PGN 130311 Environmental Parameters and PGN 130312 Temperature messages.
