The Actisense NGT-1 makes it possible to send and receive NMEA 2000B data safely between a PC and an NMEA 2000B network. This creates the possibility of feature rich software applications replacing or complementing dedicated hardware such as a Multifunction Display (MFD) or Chart Plotter.
The freely available diagnostic software NMEA Reader from Actisense uses the NGT-1 to display all devices active on the network and all of the data messages flowing between them, the powerful set of tools that NMEA Reader offers the user can instil a better understanding of the network and help diagnose potentialnetwork issues.
A Software Development Kit (SDK) is also freely available for software developers to use in creating software applications that can fully interact with an NMEA 2000B network, its devices and its data, taking its power supply directly from the NMEA 2000® network (ISO variants) or from a PC (USB variants) removes the need for a separate power supply thus reducing installation time and complexity.
The USB variant offers the easiest method of connecting to a PC, whilst the ISO variant is available for customers who prefer a serial interface that does not require USB drivers.
