The Application that is being used with the NGT-1 is responsible for configuring the NGT-1 for each session when it opens up the COM port to the NGT-1. For example, NMEA Reader by default will set the NGT-1 to 'Receive:All'. This means that the NGT-1 will receive every PGN available on the NMEA2000 network and it will be displayed in NMEA Reader...

The typical maximum depth range of the DST-2 is 100 metres. The minimum detectable depth of the DST-2 is typically 0.5 metres – which makes it one of the best in the world. The true minimum depth that is detectable depends far more on the depth transducer than the DST-2 because it is the transducer 'ringing' that determines the earliest opportunity that a returning echo signal...

..The DST-2 frequency is dictated by the hardware components. Which means it is unfortunately not possible to change it by installing different firmware.

The CAN connections on the DST-2 were designed for an OEM customer that only required a basic CAN connection. As the DST-2 CAN connections do not meet the strict requirements of NMEA 2000, it is not possible to certify or market the DST-2 as an NMEA 2000 product...

The PRO-BUF-1 can be configured manually using the ‘Mode’ pins (also referred to as ‘hard-wiring’) or via the web browser based configuration tool. Manually configuring the PRO-BUF-1 takes priority over the web configuration tool. An internet connection is not required to access the configuration tool. The factory default setting of the PRO-BUF-1 is ‘Buffer Mode 3’...
