Chapter 1: Introduction

SeaTalk is the language used by Raymarine products to share
information. This is unique to Raymarine. The PC/SeaTalk/NMEA
Interface, by providing conversion between SeaTalk, RayTech PC
and NMEA 0183 data formats, allows operation with other
manufacturer's equipment and with PCs.
The PC/SeaTalk/NMEA Interface provides:
• Connection of SeaTalk to a PC running RayTech
• Conversion of NMEA 0183 data format to SeaTalk
• Conversion of SeaTalk to NMEA 0183 format
• Operation of the Raymarine Main Alarm when an alarm
condition exists on the SeaTalk bus
