INTRODUCTION
Pytheas is a software that receives standard or custom NMEA data and present them as data or graphics in a marine type user interface.
Pytheas is consisting of three main pages NAVIGATION, PORT/ANCHOR, TOOLS and the SETUP page.
The idea is to have a reliable presentation of data when you need them. Configure the NAVIGATION page to get the data you need when navigating and PORT/ANCHOR with the required data when at port or anchor
Setting up the conditions during setup proccess lets you get all digital or analog data from vessel's navigation and communication equipment.

CONFIGURATING THE COMMUNICATION PORTS
Pytheas is able to handle and receive NMEA data from 16 Ports named Port 00, Port 01, .... , Port 15
These ports are devided in two groups, the Serial Port Group (Port 00 to Port 07) and the UDP Port Group (Port 08 to Port 15)
Every Serial Port from the motherboard or any additional multiport card like MOXA, ADVANTECH etc installed in the computer if is recognised by the operating system (Windows XP, Widows 7) can be used also from Pytheas as data input.
