ACTISENSE NGX-1-USB, is an Intelligent Gateway that enables interface with NMEA 2000 and a PC, and conversion between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 in one and the same product.
< p>NGX-1 provides a straightforward way to link between a boat's data network and converts NMEA 0183 data to NMEA 2000 data and vice versa. Multiple NGX-1 units can be used to multiplex many NMEA 0183 units onto the NMEA 2000 network, using the network as a means of combining and transmitting all data from one location to another.
NGX-1 is also a NMEA 2000 to PC interface, capable of transmitting messages accurately to and from the NMEA 2000 bus. It is compatible with a wide range of chartplotters, display and configuration applications available for PC.
