Appendix A – Connecting Peripheral Instruments
A-9
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.
