Vysion™
is the next generation of instrument displays. It provides orders of magnitude more information than classical segmented displays. Because it can show multiple items, it is also cost effective relative to standard mast displays in the larger size range.

Features include:
  • Sunlight readable color graphics.
  • Numerical, stripchart, bitmap and racecourse screens. And more.
  • Any size digits. No kidding. See the detail page to see how we do this.
  • Suitable for mast or helm locations.
  • Display images from your PC, or pulled down from the Internet (e.g. weather radar images).
  • Color coding of data.
  • Day and night palettes.
  • Portrait or landscape orientation.
  • For a 10.4 inch monitor, maximum number size is 3.5 inches.

DeWiggler™
is a new program for automatically troubleshooting and calibrating your boat. There are two flavors:
  • DeWigglerPro™ is an expert-driven program where an authorized calibrator comes aboard and sets up your system.
  • DeWigglerAnalyst™ is a program you run yourself. When you send the data files in, recommendations are returned by email.

LANbridge
is a device for sourcing the Ockam UDP broadcast directly to your local Ethernet. This means that an onboard PC is no longer required in order to use Eye.

The UDP broadcast can be used directly by OckamSoft, Expedition and Nobeltec onboard software, bypassing the complications inherent in RS-232 serial communications and its abandonment by the Windows platform.
