Data connection manual

Hi, is there a description about all the field and switches for the different data connections?
I’m not the really expert to understand all the different setup possibilities. Also not sure when set a function and why it should be helpful.

Nope. Feel free to ask here.

tell us what equipment you have and what you are trying to achieve. most of the time the defaults should be ok and there is very little you need to configure

Hi, I have follow setup.
2 x NMEA0138 in : Furuno GP-150 and Wind (MWV)
CAN0: NMEA2000
1 x NMEAout: Laptop (GGA,RMC, MTW, DBT, XDR, VHW) for Logbook
1 x NMEAout for a 0183 distributor to provide GP-150 and MWV to several hardware systems

What I want to know:

what is Suppress NMEA0138 out? Why and when should you use it?
INput Event, what is the Idea about this
Validate Checksum Why and when to use YES = reason No = Reason
Append Checksum need more details
Remove NULL Characters: For what is this? Expample?
Override timestamps: need more details for this function

THX for the details.
Now I come to my problem.
I have follow deltas.
Depth 125267 via CAN0
VTG,ZDA and GLL from the DATA Input 0183 GPS named GPS on the Input Event field
MWV from the DATA Input 0183 Wind named Wind on the Input Event
and I only want to have these signals at the DATA 0183 output (distri) > VTG, ZDA, GLL, MWV, DBT
I have entered GPS and Wind in the output events field, but how can I get the Depth signal on it?
