1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the nke Processor Regatta. This processor is the heart of the
system and provides the most accurate, dynamic and noise-free information to the
autopilot, the navigation programme, the tactician, the crew and of course the skipper.
In this manual you will find all the information necessary to:
-Carry out Installation, configuration and calibration of the Processor Regatta and
sensors
-Access all the functions offered by the Processor Regatta
-Get the best performance from your boat
2. THE TOPLINE NETWORK
The Topline system consists of sensors and displays networked with a single 3 wire cable
(shield: 0V, white: +12V, black: Data). Data is carried on the black “DATA” wire.
Displays have a variable address ranging from 1 to 20 while the sensors have a fixed
address with a value comprised between 21 and 210. The network is managed from one
of the displays that will be chosen as “MASTER” during the system commissioning. Its
address will be “1”.
Once turned on, the “MASTER” will scan all the addresses to discover all the displays and
sensors which are connected to the network.
Once the “MASTER” has scanned the network, it will ping only the channels it has
identified. Also, the “MASTER” will randomly ping the channel “0” (non identified display).
A specific answer from a display will generate an address for that display to integrate
dynamically the network.
3. THE PROCESSOR REGATTA
The Processor Regatta provides the following:
1. Performance:
•Accurate measurement of wind speed and angle (true and apparent), boat speed,
speed over ground, the boat movements, all with sensitivity to small changes.
•Accurate measurement of acceleration and the boat’s attitude (magnetic heading,
angles, acceleration, turn rates, magnetometric vector)
•Accurate dynamic calculation of true wind as a result of the compensation of
measured data from the masthead sensor, the geometry between the mast and the
hull and the use of corrections table.

5 33-60-084-001 PROCESSOR REGATTA Manual
2. Fast data provision:
•High speed data flow (fast reactivity to the measurements from sensors providing
high speed updates to the autopilot and data display).
•Fast data rate interface with the onboard PCs for the major navigation packages
(via the SailNet protocol on IP and various gateways). Compatible with the Proteus
communication system.
3. Safe and secure operation:
•Integrated safety: various safe modes allow use of the main functions without the
Processor Regatta.
•The use of the lightest possible Linux OS ensures real time operation without
background task (or virus) and avoiding mechanical moving parts (such as hard
disk, fans…)
•Auto diagnostic log for a good understanding in case of malfunction.
4. Standardisation :
Simple and open formats and protocols specified for:
•Variables logs
•Variable exchange protocol via fast RS232/NMEA0183 or IP.
•Adjustment for the linear calibrations, filtering, alarms and non-linear calibration
files, polar tables.
•Use of one single variable definition base for each level: in the remote Gyropilot
Graphic display, the Processor Regatta, the variables log, the compatible
navigation software (Deckman), the IP broadcast, the post-processing software
(Excel..), the diagnostic software (Toplink ...).
5. Post-processing:
•Internal communication for diagnostics and modeling.
6. Open data:
•Functions can be customized or translated (display on the Gyropilot Graphic,
Deckman, Tools).
•Open IP protocol for « SailNet » variables exchange (Linux/windows libraries with
samples supplied, possibility to use several boats and/or navigation programs
simultaneously).
7. Upgrades:
•Easy Processor Regatta update via IP
•Use of the Topline peripherals with a Flash memory for onboard update with PC
Toplink.
• Processor Regatta interface page on the Gyropilot Graphic display for easy HCI
update.
8. Power management:
•Allows the on board PC to operate in standby mode while getting the performance
data on the nke displays.
•The Processor Regatta enhances the wind data (faster refresh and less noise). As
a consequence, the autopilot steering is optimized and reduces the use of the ram’s
motor.

The equipment featured in this drawing is for indication only.
It does not reflect your own system.
5. INSTALLATION OF THE PROCESSOR REGATTA
In this chapter we will cover the installation of the unit and all calibration required in the
Topline network environment.
IMPORTANT:
-Please take time to read this manual carefully before you start installation
-Any connection to the TOPLINE bus must be performed through the specific interface
box # 90-60-417 and only with the TOPLINE bus cable # 20-61-001
-Any work on the TOPLINE bus requires the system to be powered off.

7 33-60-084-001 PROCESSOR REGATTA Manual
5.1 Installation of a brand new nke system
All units except the Processor Regatta must be installed first. Please refer to the manual
for each unit (sensors, displays…). We recommend using the Mutltigraphic or
Gyrographic as the system’s Master.
Once the system is installed, refer to “How to integrate Processor Regatta in an existing
nke system” to complete the installation.
5.2 Installation of the Processor Regatta with an existing nke system
As a first step, you need to update every component connected to the Topline network.
This is done with the « Toplink2 » software, or alternatively you can send the units to nke
customer support.
Firmware, database and the Toplink2 software (requires the Topline USB interface 90-60-
482) are all available for download at the following address: http://www.nke-marine-
electronics.com in the technical area (requires a password – access to trade only).

Once you have ensured that all units are up to date with a compatible version, you can
power the system on and check that it works properly. We strongly recommend choosing a
Gyropilot Graphic display as Master of the Topline network. This will make the
integration of the Processor Regatta easier to manage.

5.3 Adding the Processor Regatta to your nke system
When all the sensors, displays and interface units are up to date, compatible with the
Processor Regatta and fully working, you are ready to add the Processor Regatta to the
network. Once in place, it will become the Master. Therefore, the existing Master has to be
deleted so that the Topline network is clean of any Master.
The Gyropilot Graphic (current Master) must be given a new code:
−Display the Main Menu (Menu : main) with the Page key of the Gyropilot
Graphic
−Choose Configuration and then Initialisation adresse with the navigation pad
11
−Accept with Ent,
−You will get the following message « To set the address to 0 press Ent»,
accept again by pressing Ent,
−the following message will display «Gyropilot address 0»
The 3D sensor or Compass Regatta sensor must be connected to the «NMEA1
Compass » connector before connecting the PROCESSOR REGATTA (refer to the unit’s
manual). The PROCESSOR REGATTA will automatically detect those sensors (version
2.4 and up).
When powering the Topline network on, a blue LED situated on the front face of the
PROCESSOR REGATTA indicates the working status. The PROCESSOR REGATTA
always acts as the Master. When the system is powered on, the Master will create 2
« Lists ». Allow 30 seconds for boot completion.

the damping is controlled from the Gyropilot Graphic (main menu/damping/boat speed).
Do not turn the damping control on if you use « Ultrasonic Speedo » sensors.
It may be useful with mechanical sensors such as impellers which are often subject to
noise. To turn the damping on, choose the value « Y » instead of « N ».
AppWindCorDamp : this control enables damping of the apparent wind data displayed
(VVA_Cor and AVA_Cor ). It can be useful for debugging purpose. It has no effect on the
true wind calculation. By default it is off (“N”).
Language
Language: switch between French and another language which by default is English for
the labels. It is possible to use another language instead of English. This is done by
opening the file « variables.csv » and replacing each word of the « En10Name » field. The
words should not exceed 10 letters.
0 = French
1 = alternative language. By default: English.
The default setting is « 1 ».
