Marine Electronics MiniPlex-2USB/BT NMEA 0183 Brand NEW in an original box.
The MiniPlex-2USB/BT is an advanced Bluetooth enabled multiplexer combining data from up to four navigation instruments into two NMEA outputs and, a wireless Bluetooth interface and an USB port. It also supports AIS and other high speed NMEA devices up to 57600 Baud.
The MiniPlex-2USB/BT is an NMEA multiplexer that enables the connection of multiple NMEA 0183 instruments to each other and a computer. It is developed to solve a fundamental problem with the NMEA 0183 standard.
The NMEA 0183 standard defines a communication protocol that enables navigation instruments to exchange data with each other. A compass can send a bearing to a radar to enable a north-up display, a GPS can send cross-track information to an autopilot to steer a programmed course. The same GPS can also send information to the radar at the same time since the NMEA 0183 standard specifies that one device must be able to send data to up to four other devices. NMEA data is made up of short text messages with a strict format called sentences and are human-readable.
