There are several different ways Yacht Devices products are configured. Our products can be configured via three primary methos. Some of our products support multiple ways of configuring them while others are limited to just one. The five basic types of configuration are: A text file copied onto a MicroSD card and inserted into a reader slot on the device An installation description string set using our Can Log Viewer software (and potentially installation software from other manufacturers) Sequences of button presses for those devices with physical buttons (primarily our digital switching products) By careful modification of your MFD's chart datum...
