28.7 Add an instrument
Use this to add a new instrument to your Instruments screen.
New instruments are always shown in the top left corner of the Instruments screen,
so if you want to locate a particular instrument in the top left corner, add this last
of all so that you don't need to reposition it.
The instrument must have been physically installed as part of your 8000i network,
and must send and receive data using NMEA or NavBus formats.
To add a new instrument:
1. Select
Display then select Instruments. If you can't see the
Select Panel button, select Return.
2. Choose
Select Panel then select the instrument panel that you
want to change and select Return.
3. Select
Config then select Add Instrument. The Select Data
Channel box is displayed.
4. The
Active Channels button shows the current setting. If it's On,
the 8000i shows the data channels that are currently receiving that
data. (If it's Off, the 8000i shows all the data channels that are
available.) Select the button to toggle the Active Channels button On,
if required.
5. Select
+ next to the data channel that is most appropriate for the
instrument that you're adding (for example, if you're adding a water
temperature sensor, select + Environment). The 8000i lists the
instrument data available from that data channel.
6. Select the instrument data that you want to show, then choose Next.
7. The new instrument is shown immediately on the selected Instruments
screen in the top left corner.
8. You can select the new instrument and drag it to a new location on the
instrument panel. The yellow lines help you to align the new
instrument with the existing instruments.
