Maretron Introduces NMEA 2000 PC based Vessel Monitoring and Control Software (N2KView)
Categories: Industry News Marine Tech
Maretron continues to lead the way in NMEA 2000® technology by being the first company to offer PC vessel monitoring and control software based on NMEA 2000® network technology
PHOENIX, August 27, 2007 - Maretron, a leading developer and manufacturer of marine electronic
networked instrumentation, today announced the release of its PC based vessel monitoring and control software (N2KView). N2KView monitors virtually all NMEA 2000® information including engines, gensets, tanks, rudders, navigation instruments, local weather, electrical systems and more. Information can be viewed from one or more stations on the vessel or remotely via an Internet connection.
"N2KView is completely user-configurable and users are free to design different screens to their exact requirements while easily switching from screen to screen for monitoring different vessel systems", says Rich Gauer, president of Maretron. "Digital displays, analog gauges, graphical displays, warning lights, bar graphs - all can be configured exactly as desired; even the operating limits and color bands for analog gauges are configurable."
Larry Anderson, Maretron's VP of sales and marketing states, "The N2KView product promises to be
one of Maretron's premier products by exploiting the flexibility and convenience of the NMEA 2000®
networking standard. The N2KView software together with Maretron's sensors provides a vessel
monitoring system for a fraction of the cost of existing systems."
Maretron has a complete product roadmap planned for the N2KView software including such things as alarms and electrical system integration. Together with their sister company Moritz Aerospace and under the umbrella of Carling Technologies, N2KView will eventually allow the user to turn on or off electrical devices with a touch of the screen while monitoring the status of those circuits as well.
Maretron started shipping N2KView in early August, and will feature the software at these upcoming boat shows:
• United States Boat Show, Oct. 4-8, Annapolis, Md. (Tent D43)
• IBEX, Oct. 10-12, Miami Beach (Booth # 1660)
• NMEA, Oct. 17 - 20, Naples, Fla. (Booth # 611)
• Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Oct. 25 - 29, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (Booth # 518)
• METS, Nov. 13 - 15, Amsterdam, Netherlands (Booth # 01.322, Hall 1)
