SEAviz  Virtual Instruments

SEAviz enables you to display information from engines, electrical systems, water and fuel tanks, wind and GPS instruments, etc in digital, analog and graphical format on any windows PC.

                     

 

SEAviz is a Windows PC program that captures the NMEA 0183 serial output data from CruzPro (or other NMEA 0183) instruments and displays the information on your computer screen in analog and/or digital format and graphs. You can set local low and high alarms on any or all parameters and SEAviz will sound and log all alarm conditions, date, time, etc. The data can be shown in any combination analog, digital and graphical formats. The screens are very easy to configure using a mouse and it takes only minutes to configure a screen display template. All your favorite screen templates and settings can be saved and recalled at will. Data can also be captured to the hard drive for later analysis.

SEAviz is a wonderful tool for observing engine and boat performance and/or monitoring your electrical system, fuel, tankage, and other parameters such as wind. Wind speed, direction and evolution, wind shifts and patterns can be decrypted in a glance.

Cruisers and professionals will also find SEAviz useful for plotting depths or looking at barometer evolution up to two days back.

SEAviz provides full control of how each instrument looks with full user control over size, location, decimal point selection, scaling, etc.

SEAviz virtual instruments enable you to have a “Glass Bridge” display while the actual gauges can be located elsewhere.

 Compatible with CruzPro Intelligent Instruments

SEAviz is the only software application that can read the standard and proprietary NMEA data sentences from CruzPro instruments developed by BV Engineering. These instruments work with all popular senders and provide data for:

bulletEngine- revs, water temperature, oil pressure, pyrometer
bulletElectrical- battery volts, amps, amp hours
bulletTankage- Fuel, water and grey water levels
bulletAccessories – Anchor rode, time of day, elapsed engine hours, depth, boat speed, trip and total logs, etc.

SEAviz can also display the data from all instrument systems that output NMEA data, allowing display and graphing of such data as:

bullet

Wind speed and direction

bullet

Boat speed and heading

bullet

Depth
