User Manual

The information sent by the Master consists of the following values:

Navigation mode (To Single Destination/to a Route)

Route Name*

Destination ID

Destination Position

Next Waypoint ID*

Range from Destination to next Waypoint*

Bearing from Destination to next Waypoint*

The Destination Icon, Navigation leg (Fix Position to Destination), the Next Waypoint

Icon and all other relevant C-Link Navigation Data will be shown on the Slave

chart plotter. Any variation of the C-Link Navigation Data on the Master will be

communicated to the Slave so to keep data aligned on both devices.

MASTER CHART PLOTTER

Operating mode

To select the Master mode follow the procedure:

[MENU] + "Advanced Options" + [ENTER] + "C-Link" + [ENTER] + "Primary

Station" + [ENTER]

Master mode is the default factory setting. All regular chart plotters functions are

allowed. As soon as the Destination is placed, the Master chart plotter will start

transmitting all C-Link Navigation Data.

In Master mode the C-Link Navigation Data received from the NMEA port is ig-

nored. So, if the two chart plotters are both operating in Master mode, the C-Link

Navigation Data sent by the other chart plotter never processed.

Under such condition if the navigation is activated on one of the two chart plot-

ters, a warning message will be shown to notify that the C-Link navigation data

will be ignored by the other chart plotter.

SLAVE CHART PLOTTER

Operating mode

To select the Slave mode follow the procedure:

[MENU] + "Advanced Options" + [ENTER] + "C-Link" + [ENTER] + "Secondary

Station" + [ENTER]

When Slave mode is set, the chart plotter cannot manipulate the C-Link Naviga-

tion Data anymore.

It is necessary to disable the Internal GPS on the Slave chart plotter before start

to work with the C-Link system:

[MENU] + "Advanced Options" + [ENTER] + "Input/Output" + [ENTER] +

"GPS Configuration" + [ENTER] + "GPS Antenna" + [ENTER] + "No" +

[ENTER]

Stop current navigation

If the navigation was already active, it will be disabled as soon as Slave mode is

set. An appropriate warning message will be shown to notify that the Navigation

is already active and to confirm whether Slave mode can be set.
