How does source priority work?
Our network is a bit crowded with sources. Several GPS and heading sources as well as sources that repeat received data. For example, we have a Vesper Cortex and a YD Ethernet gateway that repeats (over Ethernet) NMEA data in addition to the B&G Zeus.
I have all of these data connections going in to SK because they all don't provide the same data. For example, the Zeus and Vesper don't forward the engine data. I have the Vesper connected because it forwards GPS and AIS data when at anchor and the NMEA network is powered off.
I've found that this causes weird issues with all this multiple sources so I've started using source priority.
My question is how best to use the option. Do I need to list every source in the priority settings or can I just enter the one I want to take priority and leave the rest blank?
Is there a way to blanket prioritize a source? In other words, can I tell the system to always prioritize the YD gateway and if that's not available, drop to the Vesper?
