Data source selection

Note: If NMEA 0183 is used, complete the NMEA 0183

setup prior to doing source selection. Refer to "NMEA 0183

setup" on page 45.

Data sources provide live data to the system.

The data may originate from modules internal to the unit (for

example internal GPS or sonar), or external modules connected to

the NMEA 2000 or via NMEA 0183 if available on the unit.

When a device is connected to more than one source providing the

same data, the user can choose the preferred source. Before

commencing with source selection make sure all external devices

and the NMEA 2000 backbone are connected and are turned on.

Device name

Assigning a name is useful in systems using more than one device

of the same type and size. When viewing data sources or the device

list, the assigned name will append the default product name +

virtual device function for easy identification.

Auto configure

Auto configure is available on the ELITE-7Ti only.

The Auto configure option will look for all sources connected to the

device. If more than one source is available for each data type,

selection will be made from an internal priority list. This option will

be suitable for the majority of installations.

Note: Auto data source selection may already have been

selected at first time startup, however it should be redone if

any new devices have been added to the network since.
