I recently purchased a
Garmin Fantom 24
radar and 1042xsv
chartplotter. As well I a running a Win 7 computer with
OpenCPN 4.8.0. At present no TCIP networking is setup.
Before starting in on the
hardware setup I would like to know if I choose to run this setup in Master Mode type 1 can the two devices (the
chartplotter and the PC
monitor ) be set to different chart scales at the same time?
If I am running the
Radar turned on on the
OpenCPN will that affect any "regular"
screen operations on the Chartplotter? Does the chartplotter "sense" that the radar has been powered up by the OCPN and update it's
screen to show that the radar has spun up?
Thanks
