C-Series protocols SeaTalk utilizes a single backbone cable to which compatible instruments connect using a spur. Data and power are carried within Your C-Series Widescreen Multifunction Display can connect to the backbone. Devices that have a low draw can be powered from various instruments and displays to share information and so the network, although high current equipment will need to have a improve the functionality of the system.
2.4 Pack contents The NMEA 0183 standard carries similar information to SeaTalk. However it has the important difference that one cable will only carry information in one direction. For this reason NMEA 0183 is Unpack the display unit carefully to prevent damage. Save the generally used to connect a data receiver and a transmitter together, carton and packing in case the unit has to be returned for service.
