0183 to N2K Gateway with PC Interface, ISO Connection

Intelligent Gateway technology enables PC interfacing and NMEA data conversion

The NGX-1 is an intelligent multi-function gateway, combining the power of our two previous generation products (NGT-1 and NGW-1) into one, cost effective, flexible product.

Configure the NGX-1 to operate as an NMEA 2000 <> PC interface, or as a bi-directional NMEA 0183 <> NMEA 2000 conversion gateway.

Features:

• View all NMEA 2000 network data on Actisense NMEA Reader. The device supports every available PGN in the NMEA 2000 standard.
• View converted NMEA 0183 data on Actisense NMEA Reader. The device sports the largest conversion library of any gateway.
• Easily interface with a wide range of PC applications via the NGX-1, such as TimeZero (NMEA 2000) and OpenCPN (NMEA 0183).
• Configure the Actisense EMU-1, NGW-1 and NGX-1 via Actisense Toolkit using an NGX-1.
• Connect legacy NMEA 0183 instruments together with new NMEA 2000 networks, greatly reducing upgrade costs.
• Vital NMEA 2000 diagnostic tool
