961/962 INSTALLATION MANUAL Revision A
For an overview of GPS and DGPS, see "Introducing GPS and DGPS" in
Chapter 2 of the Northstar 961/962 Operations and Reference Manual
(part number GM1900). For details about this GPS SATELLITE STATUS
screen, see "Understanding Position Coordinates" in Chapter 5 of the
Northstar 961/962 Operations and Reference Manual.
The option lets you connect, or interface, directly with a
variety of external devices, such as autopilots, radars, depth sounders,
personal computers, and so on. The connection is made through any of
four data transmission ports located at the back of the 961/962: three
NMEA ports and one aux port. Each can operate independently, giving
you the flexibility to control four separate devices simultaneously. The
ports can also be configured independently to meet the specifications of
most peripheral navigation equipment; this feature ensures a customized
setup for virtually any NMEA 0183-compatible device. Once configured,
the 961/962 will continuously send a stream of data to the device(s).
