NC-217 Data Combiner is designed to receive the messages from the NMEA signal sources through the four RS-232/422 input ports, summarize and combine the received messages according to the customer settings, and send them through the twelve RS-232/422 output ports. Besides the above ports, the device provides for two extra auxiliary two-way RS-232/422 ports and one USB.
The device may also receive and combine messages of other standards provided that they are separated with "carriage return" (CR) and ″line advance″ (LF) symbols.
