Quick Introduction
With GAMP-2000 you can connect various NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 based system. Boat
instruments, GPS, AIS, PC, Autopilot are connected together and the data are sent even
through the NMEA 0183 ports, NMEA 2000 port or the Wi-Fi connection.
It is possible to connect via Wi-Fi up to 4 devices capable to receive and transmit NMEA 0183
data, such as iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices.
The GAMP-2000 have an NMEA 2000 port capable of communicating on an NMEA 2000
network. NMEA 2000 messages (called PGN’s) are translated into NMEA 0183 sentences. The
GAMP 2000 also translate NMEA 0183 sentences into NMEA 2000 PGN’s.
Unique worldwide, it allows saving navigation data by command; the management is made by
an app (iOs, in the future Android as well) which activates the recording, stops it and allows
transmitting the registrations on your portable device via Wi-Fi .
Available version which allows the use of “esa regatta” and “esa training” apps.
Esa GAMP-2000 multiplexer has three or four, depending on the version, opto-isolated inputs to
connect data sending davices, called Talkers, two outputs, to connect multiple reciving devices, called
Listeners and one NMEA 2000 interface to connect to an NMEA 2000 backbone.
Esa GAMP-2000 syncronise the NMEA sentences from different talkers and send them to the outputs.
Esa GAMP-2000 also translate NMEA 2000 messages (PGN’s) into NMEA 0183 sentences and vice
versa.
The way the sentensece are combined, is completely manageable by the user through the ‘Esa
configuration manager’ software supplied with the GAMP.
The particularity of Esa GAMP-2000, compared the standard multiplexers on the market, is that it is
not limited to output NMEA 0183 strings and NMEA 2000 PGN’s, which compared the information they
carry, have a considerable amount of data to send, but also transmit data for the navigation software
Esa Regatta, with a proprietary protocol much lighter to send thereby reducing delays introduced by
the multiplexer itself.
Is still maintained the possibility to send output Wi-Fi both NMEA 0183 and Esa sentences, for a
combined use of Esa Regatta and third-party applications.
Another unique feature of the GAMP-2000 is that inside housed a MicroSD card connector (optional
memory card not included) to be used as a data logger, a tool, that is able to record in its internal
memory all navigation data every second, to use them for subsequent analysis.
To manage the operations of reading / writing / storing these files was created an app, a free
download from the Apple Store, which is described in this manual in Section 4.

GAMP-2000 and App Esa Regatta
The “GAMP-2000-esa” comes already configured for use with App Esa Regatta, downloadable from the
Apple Store.
We recommend you to connect the output of your network NMEA instruments to In1 input of GAMP and
connect to an NMEA 2000 network with the NMEA 2000 connector, as shown in the following figure.
Note: if the GAMP-2000 is connected to an NMEA 2000 network no additional external power supply is
needed, otervise and adittional external powers suplay of 12V-24V is needed.
Once on the system Esa-GAMP-2000, scan WiFi networks with your Apple device in which you
installed Esa Regatta, then:
1. Connect to the network ESA_GAMP_2k and enter, when prompted, the password FAE95A0697
2. Enter the IP address: 192.168.1.3.
3. Launch Esa Regatta.
And advisable to change the network name and password to have no trouble connecting with other
systems GAMP-2000 that they are nearby. (see section 1.2.1 Customizing network name and
password).
