The Actisense NGT-1 USB is the only intelligent NMEA 2000 gateway that sends available messages precisely to and from the NMEA2000 bus. This version has a USB connection on one side. Easily connect your NMEA2000 network to your PC or laptop via the NGT-1.
The advantages of using the NGT-1:
Send and receive pure NMEA2000 data.
Configure and flash-update Actisense products on the NMEA 2000 bus
Use with NMEA Reader to diagnose network problems
Provides a control-dependent firewall between a PC and an NMEA 2000 bus
NGT-1-USB and NGT-1-ISO versions available for all installations
An installation CD with drivers is supplied with the interface.
Power supply via NMEA2000 bus and USB port
Consumption: 30 mA off load @ 12v DC, 16 mA off load @ 24v DC
Cable length: NMEA 2000 micro-fit male - 1.5 meters / USB - 1.8 meters
OS: Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista,7, 8, 10, MAC OS X
The NGT-1 is available in two versions:
NGT-1-USB is the standard version - USB interface for bi-directional connection to a PC.
NGT-1-ISO is a more specialized option - Opto-isolated input and ISO Drive output for direct PC bidirectional connection.
The firewall feature enforces NMEA 2000 bus rules, allowing software manufacturers to create compliant software at a fraction of the direct certification cost. The supporting Actisense Software Development Kit (SDK) helps reduce the required development time.
