With a positionner
If you wish to connect other types of electronic equipment (and not simply a
positionner) see following paragraph.
The software and its driver are delivered configured by default to be
connected to a positionner which sends the standard positioning NMEA 183 chain (GLL,
etc.). This is the usual configuration for positionners on the market and in
particular for GPSs.
The PC computer features a RS 232 type input/output port (the Com 1 port), or the Macintosh features a RS 232 / RS 422 type input/output port (the Modem port). This port is used for data acquisition. Connect your positionner to this port
using the appropriate lead (see paragraph Cable diagram).
Note: if the position of your ship does not appear in MaxSea, check the positionner
connection as well as its configuration.
