Use this to add a new instrument to your Instruments screen.

New instruments are always shown in the top left corner of the Instruments screen, so if you want to locate a particular instrument in the top left corner, add this last of all so that you don't need to reposition it.

The instrument must have been physically installed as part of your 8000i network, and must send and receive data using NMEA or NavBus formats.

To add a new instrument:

1.Select Display then select Instruments. If you can't see the

Select Panel button, select Return.

4.The Active Channels button shows the current setting. If it's On, the 8000i shows the data channels that are currently receiving that

data. (If it's Off, the 8000i shows all the data channels that are available.) Select the button to toggle the Active Channels button On, if required.

5.Select + next to the data channel that is most appropriate for the instrument that you're adding (for example, if you're adding a water temperature sensor, select + Environment). The 8000i lists the instrument data available from that data channel.

6.Select the instrument data that you want to show, then choose Next.

7.The new instrument is shown immediately on the selected Instruments screen in the top left corner.
