The General Tab contains commonly used configuration items. Detailed descriptions of Binary
Status Report messages, (127500, 127501 etc.) where these are mentioned in the text, may be
found in Appendix A – NMEA 2000 ® Interfacing. See Figure 13 for General Tab detail.
Label
This text box allows you to assign a text label to the device. This label is visible in Maretron analysis
and supported display products and allows you to easily identify the particular device.
Instance
NMEA 2000 ® provides a unique instance number for each breaker box on a vessel. This read- only
field shows the instance number assigned to this device. This instance number value is reflected in
the 127501 Binary Status Report message. The instance number can be configured by changing
the "Device Instance" field on the "Advanced" tab.
