A measurement instrument (with a sensor or receiving NMEA data) will only display
the data from its own sensor or from the NMEA source received, even if other
similar data are available on the bus.
2.6.2. Remote access
A repeater instrument (without a sensor) can read and write, via AS-1 bus, all the
calibration parameters or the alarm thresholds from the same type measurer
instrument. Thus it is possible to act on the Offset of the WIND (or WIND-a) display
wind indicator connected on the bus.
System limitation:
For complex installations, with several similar measurement instruments, it is
impossible to calibrate alarms from a repeater instrument. In this case, these
settings can only be adjusted from the measurement unit (display to which the
sensor is connected).
2.7. Messages
There are 3 event messages which automatically disappear after 5 minutes or simply
by pressing a key:
Err Bat
Displayed each time a power drop near the 9V threshold is detected
(safety threshold). Return to normal if the battery exceeds this security level after a
few seconds.
Err MEM Displayed on powering on if a memory malfunction occurs.
Err Bus
Displayed at the first detection, after powering on, if a bus wire is
pinched (incorrect wiring).
