Source Selection (Manual)
Devices can be selected manually to be the preferred source. This is useful if you have
more than one of the same type of device on the network e.g. two GPS antennas.
It is also useful if you prefer that one display is to get position from one GPS antenna
and another display to get position from another GPS antenna.
Group Source Selection (Default)
SimNet products such as the Zeus, IS20 or AP24 have the ability to;
use data sources that all other products on the network use, or use a data source
•
independently from other units.
globally change all displays over to a different source from any display. (This will only
•
include products set to Default Group mode.)
When configuring data sources on an Zeus display you can select or change a source
used by all the displays on the SimNet network, this is called group source selection.
For example you can select to change the position source globally on all displays that are
in a source selection group.
There is only one source selection group available and this is group is called Default.
There are ten categories of sources such as Compass, Navigation, Position etc. Under
