NKE NMEA

7.13

To change or add a variable to output, click on a line in the variables
column (a blank line for adding variables or on a variable to change),
select the variable you wish to output and then OK. The variable will
appear on that line with the chan column showing -1, which indicates
that output is turned off. Click on the -1 and then select the channel
number you wish to use (1 to 3, as in the example). If you assign more
than one variable to the same channel, then these will switch with a
frequency of around 3 seconds.

NKE NMEA

This operates mainly as a standard NMEA instrument system (see page
7.12) except that you are able to write back Deckman data to the
displays.

Output

The default outputs are those illustrated in the example below. The
variables column shows the Deckman variable, the chan shows the
NKE channel (1 to 11) and the data column shows the current data for
the variable. The text in the Name column is associated with the channel
number, and this cannot be altered. In other words, the Deckman name
is not written out with the data to the displays. If you wish to output
variables, then you must be very careful which channel you assign these
to since the label on the display may not identify the variable.
