| Overview | |
| System Overview (PDF) | Provides basic understanding of what an Ockam system does and what it looks like. |
| Processors | |
| Tryad T1 Processor (HTML) | The full-featured system processor. Provides power and signals to all components of the Ockam system. Includes GPS, RS232, NMEA in and out, and Polar interfaces. |
| Unisyn 001 Processor (PDF) | The classic Ockam system processor. Used in systems where the extra features of the T1 processor are not required. Compatible with T1 systems. |
| Tryad Portable System (HTML) | A complete Ockam system in a box. Used to gather data on non-instrumented boats, or for race committees. |
| Displays | |
| Vysion display processor (HTML) | A full color graphical display system, the Vysion can be used as a mast or helm display. This system provides orders of magnitude more information and readability than other displays. |
| 007 Matryx Graphical Display (PDF) | 5 inch local black & white graphical display. Built-in buttons select pages of up to 4 items including stripcharts. Can also be controlled remotely via the Lynx or a PC. |
| 044 Magnum Large Format Display (PDF) | Mast display with four 1.75" segmented digits. Remote controled via wired buttons or the Lynx or a PC. |
| Eye wireless PDA (HTML) | Part of OckamSoft 4, this handy device provides display and control from the rail. |
| 005 Display (HTML) | The original Ockam display with four 1.25" segmented digits. Programmed by snap-in function cards. |
| Inputs | |
| T2 Multiplex Interface (PDF) | Provides analog wind and boatspeed for the Ockam system. Replaces the 015 and 022 interfaces. Also provides one NMEA-0183 input for compass, loadcell or depth. |
| 041 GPS Interface (PDF) | Used on 001 systems to provide full GPS support. On the T1, the GPS interface is built in. |
| 028 Depth Interface (HTML) | Interfaces a NMEA depth sensor to the Ockam system. This interface would be used if the NMEA ports on the T1 or T2 are already busy with something else. |
| 066 Loadcell Interface (PDF) | Interfaces a loadcell system to the Ockam system. This interface would be used if the NMEA ports on the T1 or T2 are already busy with something else. |
| 067 Loadcell Processor (PDF) | Interfaces a loadcell sensor to the Ockam system. This interface includes the loadcell amplifier which the 066 requires, saving expense. |
| 069 Displacement Interface (PDF) | General purpose interface providing motion readout. May also be used as a rudder or trimtab interface. |
| Laser gun and interface (HTML) | Provides accurate range and bearing to competitors. This information can be translated into wind coordinates. Used for 2 boat testing and the America's Cup. |
| Custom Interfaces - the 099DM1 story (PDF) | Ockam makes many interfaces designed for custom tasks. This document describes a custom interface that reads and controls a forward rudder. |
| Output and control | |
| Eye wireless PDA (HTML) | Part of OckamSoft 4, this handy device provides display and control from the rail. |
| 058 Lynx Keyfob Controller (HTML) | LynxTM is a programmable wireless keyfob controller for the Ockam system. Also provides for wired buttons which then use the Ockam bus instead of heavy dedicated cabling. |
| 051L LANbridge (HTML) | Provides the UDP broadcast without the need for an onboard PC. This device enables Ockam data and control over Ethernet. |
| 050 RS232 Interface (HTML) | Links a PC to the Ockam system. Data and commands go between software and the system, providing data for the program and full control for the system. |
| NMEAtap module (HTML) | An inexpensive NMEA data replicator that attaches and powers from the Ockam bus. For more on how NMEA is distributed over Ockam, see this PDF. |
| Other | |
| Accessories (HTML) | Describes all those bits and pieces needed to connect the components of an Ockam system. |
