PLU 1 - Dataport
PLU 1 allows you to activate the dataport, and to select the output
message that you want to use. By emitting an output signal, the NAV
1000 PLU can provide navigational data to be used by various
autopilots, plotters, and radars in accordance with the National Marine
Electronics Association (NMEA) standard.
The NAV 1000 PLU has been designed to accommodate a wide range
of devices. Despite efforts in the industry to standardize the outputs,
there are still marine electronics devices that interpret the standard in a
peculiar way. hould you have problems with your hookup, consult
your autopilot, plotter, or radar manual for instructions on how to
properly connect the NAV 1000 PLU with your output device, and
check to see which set of messages and baud rates are appropriate.
You may have to experiment with the messages to determine which set
is appropriate for you.
For troubleshooting purposes the NMEA messages that the NAV 1000
PLU messages are as follows:
0183A - BWC, APA, GLL, and VTG
0183B-RMC, and RMB
0183C - BWC, XTE, GLL, and VTG
Baud rates
1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600
NOTE: The default is 4800 as designated in the industry standard.
These messages are standard "sentences" that other devices should
recognize as outlined in the NMEA standard. These sentences are
given here for comparison to the sentences that may be listed in your
users' manual for the device you are trying to support.
NOTE: Experiment before you are actually navigating to see
which set of messages is appropriate.
