Axiom 9+

It will be possible, having the correct transducers (wind/depth/speed) to have those info in the Axiom 9+ screen without having the standard instruments? Like the i50/i60/i70

Yes, you can display all information on your Seatalk network on the Axiom+. Display pages can be modified to show the information that you want to display. You will need an ITC-5 to transform analogue data into digital for your network.

My understanding is at least one instrument, i50, i60, i70, is needed to set up, calibrate, and control the sensors. The MFD is read only.

No idea why manufacturers bother writing or publishing manuals when no-one seems to read them!

Refer to page 71 of the LightHouse 4 (v4.5.84) Advanced Operation manual.

Thanks for your answers and the time you spent doing it! Much appreciated

Just be aware not all networks have or need the analogue to SeaTalkNG© iTC5 installed. For example your wind instrument may have a legacy E22108 Pod that only converts the analogue wind signals into SeaTalkNG©. Your depth / speed / sea temperature may be a digital DST800 or DST810 with direct SeatalkNG© connection.

Investigate and document what your vessel has installed, as that will help you understand how the Axiom will see the SeaTalkNG© (NMEA2000) data. From experience, depending on the network especially where legacy autohelm or instrument displays exist, one has to temporarily minimise the devices on the network to allow the Axiom MDF to recognise and allow calibration.

With a new Axiom9+ and LightHouse Version 4 or greater installed menu: [Homescreen>Settings>Network>Data sources]

Ah then is very easy...the depth and speed transducers installed on the boat are the original ones, so 40 years old, and the wind transducer...has been MIA for a long time according to the previous owner!
