Introduction
This manual shows how to setup the SATELLITE COMPASS™, using the SC setting tool.

The SC setting tool runs on a commercially available PC which is connected to the SATELLITE
COMPASS™ through the NMEA2000 network connection (SC-33/SCX-20) or NMEA0183 serial
connection (SCX-21). Use this software for the initial setting after the installation, setting adjust-
ment, or performance check in the maintenance. This software is available for the SC-33.

This software can be downloaded from the quick response code shown right.

Standards Used in this Manual

Display examples in this manual are taken from a Windows®7 PC. Menus and settings may differ
slightly depending on your operating system.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

1.1 Minimum PC Requirements

The following table shows the minimum specifications required to run the SC setting tool:

Item Requirements
CPU 1 GHz or more
RAM 1 GB for 32bit; 2 GB for 64bit
Screen Resolution 1280720 or more
Operating System (OS) Windows®7 (32 bit, 64 bit), Windows®10 (32 bit, 64 bit)
OS Language English or Japanese
Interface USB port (USB2.0 compatible)

1.2 Connection with a PC

1.2.1 NMEA2000 network connection (SC-33/SCX-20)

You can connect the PC and SATELLITE COMPASS™ (SC-33/SCX-20) via the NMEA2000 net-
work. Prepare a CAN-USB converter to connect the PC to the SATELLITE COMPASS™. When
your CAN-USB converter is USBcan II or CANUSB, a drop cable is also required to connect the
CAN-USB converter to the NMEA2000 backbone.

CAN-USB converter
Prepare either one of the following converters:

Manufacturer Model
Kvaser Inc. USBcan II
Kvaser Leaf Light HS v2 M12
LAWICEL AB CANUSB
Note: A software driver is required to use the CAN-USB converter or NMEA2000 gateway. For
detailed installation instructions, refer to the operator’s manual of the converter or the official web-
site of the manufacturer.
• For USB canII/Kvaser Leaf Light HS v2 M12: Use the program CD supplied with the CAN-USB
converter to install the driver. When you install the driver, select the appropriate driver according
to the OS for your PC.
• For CANUSB: Download the driver for 32 bit OS from the following URL and install it. Even if
you use the PC of a 64 bit OS, you should also install the driver for 32 bit OS.

Drop cable
When your CAN-USB converter is USBcan II or CANUSB, prepare a drop cable (type: M12-
05BFFM-010/020/060) between the converter and the NMEA2000 backbone. Attach a D-SUB (9
pin) connector to the unterminated end of the cable, referring to the following table.

1.2.2 NMEA0183 serial connection (SCX-21)

You can connect the PC and SATELLITE COMPASS™ (SCX-21) via the NMEA0183 serial con-
nection. Prepare a serial-USB converter (local supply), between the PC and the NMEA0183 port.
For the serial-USB converter, use the HuMANDATA USB-003 Rev6.

A software driver is required to use the HuMANDATA USB-003 Rev6. Download the driver from
the program CD supplied with the converter or official website of the manufacturer, then install the
driver. The URL of the driver download page is as follows:

2.2 [GNSS Setup] Tab

You can disable (ignore) satellites and adjust the elevation mask from the [GNSS Setup] tab.

Menu Item Remarks

Disable GPS You can ignore satellites by specifying the satellite number with each posi-
SV GLONASS tioning system (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS). A maximum of three sat-
Galileo ellites can be registered to be ignored. When you check the [Disable All]
checkbox, all satellites of the selected positioning system are ignored. In this
QZSS
case, the drop down list for selecting the satellite number is grayed out.
SV ELEV Adjust the elevation mask angle. This equipment does not track satellites
with an elevation angle lower than the angle set here. A higher elevation
mask angle increases the positioning accuracy, but the number of the avail-
able satellites may be decreased and the equipment may not be able to ob-
tain an accurate position fix.

2.4 [PGN Setup] Tab (SC-33/SCX-20 Only)

You can enable/disable PGN output from the SATELLITE COMPASS™ and adjust transmission
rate from the [PGN Setup] tab.

Note: The [PGN Setup] tab is not used in the SCX-21. You can open the tab, however all setting
items are grayed out and cannot be adjusted.

How to set the transmission rate

All PGNs that the connected SATELLITE COMPASS™ can output are shown on the [PGN Setup]
tab. Unavailable PGNs are grayed out and the setting cannot be adjusted.

propriate value. If you want to disable the PGN, select [Off]. The setting range changes according
to the PGN. For the setting range of each PGN, see "MENU TREE" on page AP-1.
Note: Normally, keep the default setting. If there is a need to change the transmission rate, only
change the rate for necessary PGNs. An excessive number of PGNs with a low transmission rate
can cause problems with PGN output and transmission rates.

2.10 [Sky Plot] Tab

The [Sky Plot] tab shows the available satellites and their elevation.

Note: The following PGNs or sentences should be output from the SATELLITE COMPASS™ to
show the information on the [Sky Plot] tab.
For SC-33/SCX-20
• PGN: 127250 (Vessel Heading)
• PGN: 130845 (Multi Sats in View Extended)
• PGN: 130846 (Motion Sensor Status Extended)
For SCX-21
• THS, HDT or GPatt sentence
• GPmsv sentence
• hdcom (Sp) sentence
• Baud rate: 38,400 bps

When the output settings are not correct, the message

shown to the right appears.

1 Select Antenna Select the antenna number for which to show the satellite information
([Antenna 1] to [Antenna 4]).
Note: [Antenna 1] and [Antenna 2] are available for SC-33. However
you can select [Antenna 3] and [Antenna 4] - the satellite information
is not displayed.
2 Legend The legend of the satellite location for positioning:
• [No Use]: Not used for positioning.
• [Pos-Fix]: Used for positioning fix only.
• [Att & Pos Fix]: Used for attitude and positioning fix.
3 Vibration Status The vibration and impact test result (OK or NG). This test result indi-
cates whether the mounting position is appropriate or not.

4 Satellite location Shows the available satellites and their elevation, which are detected
by the sensor selected at [Select Antenna]. When a satellite overlaps
another, the satellite whose elevation angle is the highest is dis-
played on top of the other satellite. The center of the circle indicates
the own ship position and elevation angle “90°”.
The satellite number for each positioning system is as follows:
• GPS: 1 to 32
• GLONASS: R01 to R24
• Galileo: E01 to E36
• QZSS: 193 to 197
5 Heading marker Shows the heading direction.
6 Elevation mask angle Gray shaded area indicates area for the elevation mask that is set at
[SV ELEV] on the [GNSS Setup] tab. The equipment does not track
any satellite in this area.
7 Receiver signal level Shows the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) in bar graph format, in de-
scending order of the elevation angle. When the SNR is 40 or higher,
the reception environment is ideal.

2.11 [Debug Monitor] Tab (SCX-20/SCX-21 Only)

You can export the received PGNs or sentence information, offline data and system log file from
the [Debug Monitor] tab.

Note 1: The [Debug Monitor] tab is not used in the SC-33. You can open the tab, however all con-
tents are grayed out and cannot be adjusted.
Note 2: Before exporting the offline data, setup the PC as follows:
• Deactivate the sleep mode:
[Control Panel]  [Hardware and Sound]  [Power Options]  [Change Plan Settings]  [On
Battery: Never; Plugged In: Never]
• Deactivate the screen saver:
