Simrad has
introduced a host of innovative software enhancements for its groundbreaking
NSE system.
Building on the
Simrad NSE's combination of best-in-class radar, chartplotter and sonar
technology, the new NSE 2.0 software puts users in complete control of a range
of integrated functions, making it possible to control and monitor almost every
system on the boat through a single user-friendly interface.
Taking control of
autopilot functions is easier than ever. NSE 2.0 software combines the world's
best performing autopilot system with the brilliant NSE displays, allowing
users to combine charting, autopilot and vessel pages for unprecedented vessel
control. Additional screens can be simply added where needed.
The new software
also integrates NSE with Navico's impressive new StructureScan™ sonar imaging
technology, which delivers life-like imaging of underwater structures.
StructureScan incorporates SideScan and DownScan™ imagery. The addition of
exclusive DownScan Overlay over traditional sonar adds a new dimension to fishfinding,
clearly separating fish from structure.
Using innovative
Czone digital switching technology, it is also now possible to control and
monitor almost any system on the boat from an NSE display. Lights, bilge pumps
and tank levels are among the functions that can be operated, monitored and
adjusted at the touch of a button.
The ability to
monitor and adjust fuel and power settings from the NSE unit allows users to
moderate energy consumption and reduces the overall running costs.
The Simrad NSE
series of multifunction displays is compatible with some of the most powerful
innovations in marine technology, including the award-winning BR24 Broadband
Radar™, the HD Digital Radar, the BSM-1 Broadband Sonar Module and the GS15
High-Speed 5Hz GPS antenna.
Simrad HD Digital
Radars and the Broadband Radar now support True Motion Radar Display, so moving
vessels can be instantly distinguished from fixed objects and land, which can
be highly-reassuring in poor weather conditions. In addition, Broadband Radar
near-range performance and usability has been optimised with the addition of
High-Speed Antenna Rotation. With increased target update rates, early
detection and tracking of high-speed radar targets is a given.
Simrad has also
added the capacity to show MARPA targets on the chart screen and added floating
VRMs and EBLs for more effective radar plotting.
These impressive
new software enhancements will be available in May for download from
www.simrad-yachting.com or by contacting your authorised Simrad dealer.
