4 | Select Data Sources (optional)
When the network has been configured, you can choose sources from the entire network. Depending on your network configuration,
your options may include sources from remote control head(s), RS-232, NMEA 0183, Ethernet, and NMEA 2000. Sources are shared
across the network. In some situations, sources can be individualized for each control head. For example, Control Head A can use
one transducer and Control Head B can use a different transducer.
Auto-Configure: The Auto-Configure on/off button is displayed in each source category. When Auto-Configure is turned on, the
sources are selected automatically by the control head. When Auto-Configure is turned off, you can select sources based on your
preferences.
For example, if there are multiple heading sensors attached, the control head network will choose one sensor to provide the heading.
If you prefer a different sensor to provide the heading, you can manually assign a different heading sensor as the selected source.
