    It is possible to group certain settings so they are duplicated across the network on multiple displays. Display (ie backlighting), Units (ie metric, imperial), Damping (to dynamic data), and Alarms can be grouped either in ‘Simrad’ group, or groups ‘1’ through to ‘6’. If any of the settings require discrete control, set it to ‘none’.
