Title: onix questions
Post by: d.sonnenburg on April 21, 2015, 04:50:04 PM
I am looking into purchasing a Humminbird Onix8ci Combo I am wondering first what is included with this? Does this have autochart software for the computer? it says you can do 8 hours of recording with autochart live, after I use that 8 hours do i have to go purchase the autochart pro card and software or can i just buy a zerolines card? Also will my 998 transducer and gps puck work with this onix model or are the transducers totally different? and can i network them together with my AS EC 15E ethernet cable?

The AutoChart and AutoChart pro PC software packages do not come with the Onix ... They are a separate purchase ...

The Onix can store internally up to 8 hours of AutoChart Live data (AutoChart Live is the AutoChart software ... But built into the Onix as an added feature) ...

After the 8hrs of internal memory is full ... you will need to purchase a Zero lines card for more AutoChart Live data or transfer the internal saved Live data to the Zero lines card to free up space in the internal memory for more AutoChart Live data ...

The core unit xducers can be used with Onix with the AD 1429 adapter cable ... But you will lose the DI functionality of the Onix dedicated DI ...

The core unit GPS antenna can be used with the Onix with the AS GPS NMEA ...

Onix can only be networked to Onix ...
