[CA11] Axiom and e97 on network

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Bart,

Your suggestion to replace the e97 with an eS97 MFD will indeed permit the fishfinder transducer which had been interfaced to the e97 to instead be interfaced to the Transducer socket of the eS97 MFD. Also, the CP100 is compatible with any model of MFD running the latest LightHouse II or LightHouse 3 software. That said, I would generally recommend that an Axiom RV MFD be installed (and adapted for use with the e97 MFD's fishfinder transducer) systems such as this to ensure that the resulting system will then be able to receive LightHouse 3 software updates beyond end of this year (or possibly as late as the Spring of 2019), after which, the processing requirements may prevent future LightHouse 3 software updates from being installed within eS/gS-Series MFDs.
