For example the displays may require headinginformation from the autopilot and GPS systems, usually receivedthrough a SeaTalkng or NMEA connection. The data master is thedisplay to which the SeaTalk, NMEA and any other data connectionsare made, it then bridges the data to the SeaTalkhs network andany compatible repeat displays. Information shared by the datamaster includes:• Cartography• Routes and waypoints• Radar• Sonar• Data received from the autopilot, instruments, the engine andother external sources.Your system may be wired for redundancy with data connectionsmade to repeat displays. However these connections will onlybecome active in the event of a fault and/or reassignment of thedata master.Designating the data masterFor systems with 2 or more displays the following task must beperformed on the multifunction display that you want to designateas the data master.With the homescreen displayed:1.
