You are looking at something for which we have been waiting since before Wind Horse<\/em> was launched, an analog to digital converter so we can display our analog engine gauges on the computer. It is shown above sharing the computer screen with Coastal Explorer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of equal importance are the alarm readouts across the top (in green). These change color when an alarm is triggered. Noland Engineering sent us a beta copy of their software and hardware, and Chris Martin did the installation and initial set up. This is still very much a development project, but with Chris’s feedback, and a few suggestions from us, they should be able to fine tune the software sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n Each black box will handle tachometer, four instruments, and four alarms. We have 28 items that need logging and status indication, and the Noland guys are building a converter box which will address these.<\/p>\n Put the Noland gear together with an Ipad running Splashtop and you have alarms, instrument data, and charting in one place.<\/p>\n We have been using this with a wireless data link the past few days,<\/p>\n Chart and navigation\u00a0 data is below a warning strip at the top, and we now have navigation and warning data on the Ipad at the fly bridge helm. Cool; very cool!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
