The NMEA Reader software application allows NGT-1 owners to view and decode NMEA 2000 information directly from the NMEA 2000 network, plus the ability to view and decode NMEA 0183 data (typically via a USG-1 or NGW-1). The EBL Reader software utility allows any EBL log files recorded by Actisense NMEA Reader & Actisense Toolkit to be viewed and analysed at leisure. Vital for diagnosing network issues remotely. The NMEA Reader & EBL Reader software applications enable anyone to become an NMEA master and diagnose their own networks.
