To program the Device, enter a special string starting with «YD:» to the installation description field 2
in the Device properties. For example, «YD:DEV 1» (without quotes) will change the NMEA 2000 device
instance of the Device to 1. If the command is accepted by the Device, it will add «DONE» to the entered
text and «YD:DEV 1 DONE» will be displayed in this installation description field. If a command is entered
without the last parameter, the device replies with the current value of the parameter.
In Figure 1 on the previous page, you can see the process of programming the Device with free CAN
Log Viewer software (to open this window, select the item «NMEA 2000 Devices» in the «View» menu,
refresh the list of devices, select the device and click «Properties» button). You can download this
program (runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) at http://www.yachtd.com/downloads/.
Yacht Devices NMEA 2000 Wi-Fi Gateway or Yacht Devices NMEA 2000 USB Gateway is required
to connect the PC to the NMEA 2000 network.
CAN Log Viewer also allows you to modify the NMEA 2000 device instance by entering a value
in the dedicated field (see «Address Claim» group on the screenshot).
After entering the command as shown in Figure 1 (click the «Update» button to apply changes), the value
in the «Device Instance» field will be changed to 1, and «Installation Details 2» field will be changed
to «YD:DEV 1 DONE».
In the Table 1, parameters in square brackets [] can be omitted to obtain the current setting's value.
