ACTISENSE NGX-1-USB, is an Intelligent Gateway that enables interfacing with NMEA 2000 and a PC, and conversion between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 in one product.
The 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 devices to the NMEA 2000 network, with the network serving as a means to combine and transmit all data from one location to another.
The NGX-1 is also an NMEA 2000 to PC interface, capable of accurately transmitting messages to and from the NMEA 2000 bus. It is compatible with a wide range of chartplotters, display and configuration applications available for PC.
