IF-NMEA2K2 Software History
V1.07 Software Units shipped after June 1st 2015
* New: BFT mode added. Blue Force Tracking (BFT) is a solution used in the US by
the US Coast Guard (USCG) to identify a certain group of AIS targets. When a
third-party AIS transponder transmits a proprietary VDM sentence exclusively
used for BFT, the received BFT targets will be displayed in blue. With the
TZT9/14/BB v4.01 in combination with IF-NMEA2K2 v1.07, BFT targets can be
indicated on the Plotter and Radar screens.
* New: Yanmar engine (8L) interface.
V1.06 Software Not released
V1.05 Software Not released
V1.04 Software Units shipped after January 1st 2014
Changed: The talker ID was changed from II to GP, except for AIS sentences which
stayed at AI. This change was made to make the IF-NMEA2K2 more compatible.
Some equipment would not accept II as a talker ID.
v1.03 Software
* New: RMC conversion added in AIS mode. IF-NMEA2K2 will now simultaneously
transmit an RMC sentence while receiving VDM/VDO/DSC/DSE sentences. This
allows one single IF-NMEA2K2 to be used for VHF Radios that have integrated AIS
Receivers. The radio will receive position, speed and course information while
sending AIS target information to the TZtouch MFD network.
* New: Zeus mode added. At the end of a route, Zeus drives need to receive a null
(“, ,”) in the RMB XTE field. This output is available in a combination of the
TZT9/14/BB v3.01 and IF-NMEA2K2 v1.03
Units shipped after June 13 2013
* New: APB NMEA0183 sentence added. IF-NMEA2K2 will now convert for an APB
sentence when receiving the required NMEA2000 sentences
* Fixed: Bug in converting MWD sentence to PGN130306 solved
* Fixed: Waypoint name converted for network between TZT9/14/BB v3.01 and
NAVpilot-500. The NAVpilot-500 requires a waypoint name even for a temporary
waypoint. In the network of “TZT9/14/BB v3.01 – IF-NMEA2K2 v1.03 – NAVpilot500”, a route with waypoints is properly transferred to the NAVpilot-500 via the
IF-NMEA2K2 for NAV mode.
