s Connext 57600 Baud: Connext datalink source at 57600 baud. Used to receive ADS-B
traffic and weather data if connected to a compatible receiver.
s MapMX: Receives flight plan and navigation data from Garmin navigators. When
MapMX data is received, a more accurate depiction of the flight plan legs are displayed
on the moving map (i.e., holds, procedure turns, etc.). MapMX is the preferred data
source when interfacing with Garmin navigators.
ADVANCED NMEA OUTPUT SETUP
If interfacing the aera 660 with another piece of equipment (such as an autopilot),
the unit needs to be set to output NMEA data. If the NMEA output mode is set
to ‘Fast’, the unit will output a minimum number of NMEA sentences at 1-second
intervals. If the NMEA output is set to ‘Normal’, the unit will output a greater number
NMEA sentences as 2-second intervals.
Setting NMEA output mode:
1)
From the Main Menu, touch Tools > Setup > Interface.
2)
Touch Serial Data Format. A vertical list is displayed.
3)
Touch 'NMEA Out'.
4)
Touch NMEA Output Mode to toggle between 'Normal' or 'Fast'.
NMEA Sentence Output:
sNormal Mode: GPRMB, GPRMC, GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPGLL, GPBWC,
GPVTG, GPXTE, GPBOD, GPRTE, GPWPL, GPAPB, PGRME, PGRMZ, PGRMM,
and PGRMH.
sFast Mode: GPRMB, GPRMC, PGRMZ, and PGRMH.
CONFIGURING AERA 660 FOR A GDL 39
To receive weather and traffic information from the GDL 39, the GDL 39 must be
connected to the aera using the 'GDL 39 Power/Data Cable to aera 660 Series (P/N
010-12373-02), using a Bluetooth connection, or through a bare wire installation
(aera bare wire cable P/N 010-11756-01 to GDL 39 bare wire cable P/N 010-11686-
40). The GDL 39 can only be connected to Serial Port 1 on the aera. The aera must
also be configured correctly to receive traffic and weather information from the GDL
39 as described below.
