whats a MFD ?

Multi Function Display


eg: Raymarine c78 chartplotter

thanks

Update, got most working, 2 different cables supplied....one must be NMEA as pin out was different, anyhow, the other cable worked and I've got wind speed, and depth data converting to the P70s/Evo1, SOG is blank..guess no data out on Instrument, and wind direction is sometimes close to ST50 instrument, other times 180degrees out... gotta love Raymarine tech....
i borrowed a converter up to the 2nd last software update and no difference from old update interms of of my issues.
Now at a lost end, will contact Raymarine however the ST50 is officially not compatible with STNG.. guess some strings missing or head unit instrument output on ST's is the issue....SOG I can live without, however wind direction when using Wind vane mode does a 360degree tack until I take stop it..
Any Raymarinese translators out there?

Hey Carbon are you connecting your st50 tridata to the st-stng converter & ensuring you only have power from one source - the blue ray marine stng connector into the converter.
When I recently updated I initially did not disconnect the original power and it played up.

Yep, cut off the 12v+ red wire from ST1 circuit, just ground and signal connected... just odd some work, and some don't.. wind direction is a black hole, might tape a piece of string/tell tail to my P70 for wind direction...
