HOW TO INTERFACE the TACSAIL software with your
instruments ?
There are a multitude of instrument systems on the market, each with it's own
set of hardware and/or software modules. These instrument systems must provide
the data which is used by TACSAIL to calculate and compare the
actual performance with the optimum performance of your boat.
We try to keep the TACSAIL software as versatile and flexible as
possible so that we are able to connect to most current instrument systems.
Should a special need arise then we can easily implement this in the existing
software.
On the output side the information (performance data) can be provided in many
different ways. Some users will simply prefer to view the screens at the navigation table.
Others
would want info on deck. With the wide availability of Android smartphone and
tablets we now have a simple and reliable deck interface available. You can
download the free Android App here
A quick guide on how to connect your instruments to Tacsail is given
in this pdf-file.
If you feel that your case is not covered then please send an e-mail
to info@tacsail.com describing your present PC and sail instrument system.
