[CA] Battery Voltage on Data Bar

Tom,

Q1. After reading the warning regarding LH 3, do I have any issues with my c97 being the slave to the eS127. I understand there may not be some features available on the c97 due to memory constraints.

A1. It appears that you may not fully understand the limitations stated within the LightHouse 3 software update web pages and FAQs addressing LightHouse 3 software. LightHouse 3 software cannot be installed into a/c/e-Series MFDs. Accordingly, your c97 MFD may only run LightHouse II software. Should the eS127 MFD be interfaced via an Ethernet network to an a/c/e-Series MFD, then the eS127 MFD's software must not be updated with LightHouse 3 software. Failure to heed will cause the system to alarm continuously, preventing use of the system. Accordingly, should you desire to see the supply voltage data item, then the c97 MFD would need to be replaced with an eS/gS-Series MFD or an Axiom/Axiom Pro MFD, and the eS127 MFD would then both MFDs within the system would need to be updated with the same version of LightHouse 3 software. The only other option would be to install a NMEA 2000 battery monitoring device(s) as specified within FAQ referenced within my initial response.
