Page 4: System Description
Quadro remote control feature. For example, you might have a GPS receiver and an instrument system manufactured by another maker, both transmitting complete NMEA data, and you want to display that data on Quadro Dual and Maxi displays controlled by a Quadro remote control keypad. - Page 5 Figure 1 shows the data flow among NMEA compatible devices through a QNS interface. Inputs from the NMEA 1 RX channel are fed directly to the QNS bus. They are not sent out of the Concentrator on either NMEA TX channel. When pin 11 is jumpered to pin 13 and when pin 12 is jumpered to pin 14, as shown in Figure A-2, Concentrator with Two GPS Receivers, the full prioritized output stream is sent to the QNS bus.
