Connecting to B&G Instruments

Navigator connects to the B&G 290, 390, 690, 790, and 2000
instrumentation systems through the B&G Performance Board or
through a B&G NMEA FFD display. (For other B&G instruments,
refer to “NMEA Basics,” earlier in this appendix.) Using the B&G
Performance Board has the advantage of enabling Navigator to
automatically send data back to the B&G unit for remote display.

To connect Navigator to a B&G Performance Board:

1. Install a jumper on the Performance Board between the

RTS Pin and the CTS Pin.

2. Set the Output Baud Rate setting (Cross-Track Error

calculation value 2) to 6.4bps. Refer to the B&G manual
for instructions.

3. Refer to Figure A-1 and Table A-6 to make the connections.
