18-9 Installation: Other NavBus instruments
NavBus is Northstar’s system for connecting instruments together to interchange data and share transducers. When instruments are connected by NavBus:
If the units, alarms or calibration are changed in one instrument, then the values will automatically change in all other instruments of the same type.
Each instrument can be assigned to a group of instruments. If the backlight is changed in an instrument in group 1, 2, 3 or 4 then the backlight will automatically change in the other instruments in the same group.
If the backlight is changed in an instrument in group 0 then no other instruments are affected.
If an alarm sounds, mute it by clearing the alarm on any instrument which can display that alarm.

The 657 can:
Display wind speed and direction from an optional Northstar Wind instrument.
Receive and display depth from an optional Northstar depth instrument.
Receive and display boat speed and water temperature from a paddlewheel sensor on an optional Speed instrument.
