Serial port setup
NMEA 0183 setup is done from the Network Settings page.
Receive waypoint
Select this option to allow a device capable of creating and exporting waypoints via NMEA
0183 to transfer directly to the Zeus Touch.
Serial communication
This should be set according to correspond with devices connected to the NMEA 0183 input
and output. RS422 is the default setting. The input and output always use the same standard.
Baud rate
Baud Rate is set simultaneously for the input and the ouput, it can not be set at a diff erent
speed for each. It should be set to match the speed of the device connected to it. Most
NMEA 0183 devices send data at 4800 baud.
 Note: AIS transponders typically operate at NMEA0183-HS (high speed), and will require the
baud rate to be set to 38,400
NMEA0183 output
To enable data output, enable the ‘Serial output’ option, and then select which sentences the
Zeus Touch needs to transmit to other devices from the ‘Serial output sentences’ list.
Only a select list of the most commonly used sentences are enabled by default.
