Appendix A – Connecting Peripheral Instruments

Connecting to B&G Instruments

Navigator connects to the B&G 290, 390, 690, 790, and 2000 instrumentation systems through the B&G Performance Board or through a B&G NMEA FFD display. (For other B&G instruments, refer to “NMEA Basics,” earlier in this appendix.) Using the B&G Performance Board has the advantage of enabling Navigator to automatically send data back to the B&G unit for remote display.

To connect Navigator to a B&G Performance Board:

1.Install a jumper on the Performance Board between the RTS Pin and the CTS Pin.

2.Set the Output Baud Rate setting (Cross-Track Error calculation value 2) to 6.4bps. Refer to the B&G manual for instructions.

3.Refer to Figure A-1 and Table A-6 to make the connections.
