Abbreviated name Equipment / Usage NOTES
GPS1 Primary GPS Can be used as either NAV
GPS2 Backup GPS
source or POS source. Also for
VTG data for automatic
LC 1 Primary Loran
AUTO HI/LO speed selection
LC 2 Backup Loran
NAV1 Chart plotter
NAV2 Other Nav source
INSTR Source of data for automatic HI/LO
parameter selection
Uses log input (VHW) for speed
data
RFC For use when selecting between
Simrad fluxgate compasses
RFC35 fluxgate compass is
connected to J3xx junction unit.
RC25 rate compass is connected to
Robnet
MAGN Magnetic compass with course
detector (CD100A)
CDI35 + CD100A is connected to
J3xx junction unit.
FLUXG For use with non-Simrad fluxgate
compasses that output SIN/COS
Via previous CI300X.
GYRO For use with Simrad RGC50,
RGC10 and RGC11 gyro if using
1:1 synchro or RGC serial data
Via GI51 Gyro Interface
NMEA For use with NMEA compasses Gyro, THD, or other.
Output INSTR NMEA output of compass heading HDG or HDT output increased
from 1 to 5 times/sec. on TX1 port
Output RADAR Clock/data heading output to radars Selectable between Simrad/Anritsu
and Furuno. (On both J300X and
NI300X)
Note ! If using J300X, TX2 outputs HDT or HDG at 10 Hz constantly.
The Interface Setup Menu presents these names so that they can be assigned
to a hardware input or output port. Each abbreviated name is then presented
in appropriate locations of the USER SETUP MENU to provide the user
with choices of data sources, or identified to the AP35 where to look for
various types of data.
When you assign a hardware port to an abbreviated name, you are simply
telling the AP35 system that when the user chooses an abbreviated name as a
data source it should look to the hardware port assigned to the abbreviated
name for the data.
Upon completion of the ISM it is recommended to record the configuration
in the Interface Setup Table on page
78.
• Enter the Interface Setup part of the ISM.
• Scroll through to the Interface setup ? prompt by pressing the STBD [>]
