N2KMeter NMEA 2000® Diagnostic Tool
The N2KMeter is a diagnostic tool for NMEA 2000® networks that
allows users to validate NMEA 2000® network compatibility and
operations during installation of a device or complete system, and
diagnose possible network flaws or failures that occur on an
operational network.
Cut troubleshooting time from hours to seconds, by effectively
identifying and diagnosing network problems. N2KMeter provides the
detailed technical information an NMEA 2000® troubleshooting
expert needs, yet it simplifies and summarizes, allowing an NMEA
2000® novice to effectively identify and diagnose network
problems. Battery-powered operation allows a novice user to save
readings for experts to analyze later, off the boat.
N2KMeter uses a patented integrated intelligence technique to
summarize multiple NMEA 2000® network operational variables into a
single health index. To a service technician, it's a
"guru-in-a-box", providing a detailed reading of network
performance.
It summarizes NMEA 2000® network health by displaying a happy face
icon, indicating a healthy network; a sad face, indicating a
serious problem; or a neutral face, indicating nominal performance
(a good indication to repair things before they actually fail).
N2KMeter then walks the user through each fault condition and its
source, or it can record key operating parameters for offline
review.
