Determine the NMEA 0183 connection assignments of your NMEA0183-compatible device.2. Connect your NMEA 0183-compatible device to the GHC 10, basedon the table below.GHC 10 Data Cable Wire Color FunctionBlack CCU signal groundYellow CCU signalBlue Tx/A (+)White Tx/B (-)Brown Rx/A (+)Green Rx/B (-)Three examples of various connection situations are provided in theappendix (page 18).3.
