Raymarine ST60 Tridata - Manual (Page 9)

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Raymarine product. We are sure your ST60
instrument will give you many years of trouble-free operation.
This handbook describes how to install and use the Raymarine ST60
Tridata instrument. This instrument provides accurate depth, speed, trip
and timer information, on a high quality Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
The instrument is constructed in a rugged weather-proofed case to pro-
vide reliable performance, even under the most demanding conditions.
Data inputs
The ST60 Tridata instrument can fulfil master and/or repeater roles by
receiving data either from the appropriate transducers and/or from a
SeaTalk instrumentation system.
SeaTalk
SeaTalk enables a number of compatible instruments to operate as a
single, integrated navigational system. Instruments in a SeaTalk system
are linked by means of a single cable, which feeds both power and data.
Instruments can therefore be added to the system by plugging them into
the network. SeaTalk is flexible enough to adapt to any number of
compatible instruments without requiring a central processor. SeaTalk
can also communicate via an interface, with non-SeaTalk equipment
using the internationally-accepted National Marine Electronics
Association (NMEA) protocol.
