M port it is using and set SeaView to the indicated port usually 5 8 Baud Rates SeaView can be configured to listen at several BAUD rates Select the Baud rate to match the sending device 30 SeaView User s Manual Calibration Tables SeaGauge utilizes eight modifiable calibration tables to convert sensor data into user readable display information The internal Analog to Digital converter converts sensor voltages to 10 bit values The converter can resolve voltages to 3 3 1024 3 mVolts These values are averaged and then used to lookup 8 character values form a 256 point lookup table The use of a lookup table allows for accurate readings from non linear sensors like temperature senders The lookup table also allows for easy modification of display values to suit individual preferences and senders Following is an example of a partial table used to display battery voltage The actual table has 256 indexed values The measured voltage has a range from 0 to 3 3 volts In this example it is desired to measure battery voltage from 0 to 18 volts so the input voltage from the battery is scaled down using a voltage divider ratio of 3 3 18 0 1833 The scaled down voltage is converted to an averaged digital value and then used as an index lookup in the table For example an Input voltage of 1 178 volts becomes index value 18 in the table which corresponds to the 8 character display value of 1 1 vdc Using this method allows the SeaGauge to
