  • Page 15: Appendix A - Dual Station Operation

    Appendix A – Dual Station Operation Multiple DS41 instruments can be installed on a single vessel. These instruments can be connected together and configured to operate in a dual station configuration. One instrument is designated as a master and all other instruments, connected to it, are configured as slaves.
  • Page 16: Linked Or Separate Selection

    Linked or Separate Selection By default a dual station pair of DS41 instruments automatically keep the following settings the same in both instruments: Alarms On/Off Alarm Values (Deep and Shallow) Keel Offset (see note) Units of measure (see note) Example: Switching an alarm off on the slave instrument will also switch the alarm off on the master instrument.
  • Page 17: Appendix B - Nmea Repeater Mode

    Appendix B – NMEA Repeater Mode The DS41 can be configured to operate as a NMEA repeater. In this mode it will display depth information from any depth sounder outputing DPT or DBT NMEA depth data (no other NMEA depth sentences are supported).
