Choosing NMEA Data Sources on Cortex®

Firmware version 1.7 has much more functionality and options that the user can choose. One of these options is the ability to choose NMEA data sources that are shared among the NMEA system. This is an important feature if there is more than transducer providing the information to the network. 

Many vessels use, for example, two depth transducers.  A user can choose which depth device to use in this firmware.

Go to the main menu and tap the config (wrench) icon.

Go to the Networks tab and then select NMEA Data Sources.

Select the sensor to change. In this example we will change the pressure sensor.

The selected device will now be shared across the NMEA bus.
