Evening, fella’s - I just mounted my new hds 12 live tonite, and when i powered it up, I got this message on my screen. Can anyone “dumb it down” for me and tell me what this means?

Your carbon only accepts one sonar source, your lives accept two. Depends what you want each unit to be able to see as to which option you want to choose.
Acuallu software issue. Live has.37, waiting on software update

Excuse all my “wrong” fellas . My terminology may have been off, I was talking about multiple channels available on the Live where as not available on the Carbon. Hence the asking if he wants to use the multi sonar source (2 channels of sonar) vs the single sonar source (1 channel of sonar). I ran a similar setup with carbons being the oldest units and got this message or one similar to it talking about sources. Performed all updates on everything on the network and it didn’t come back.
A Carbon is Multisource capable. Not sure where you are getting this info. You can run an AI on Channel 2 and show 2D and you can run a dedicated 2D on Channel 1. That is what is meant by 2 sonar choices and the Carbon is fully capable as long as it has been fully updated. You got the message because there was an update to allow Multisource on a Carbon. The OP probably just needs all units updated, hard reset, and restarted. As long as there are no Legacy devices on the network he failed to mention.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
I should have clarified my setup a little more. The 9 Live with Active Target is a standalone system on the bow (no issues). The 12 Live on the console is only connected to the 9 Carbon with a ethernet cable - no nmea system at this time. All units are less than a year all and are up to date. I did a system reset on the units and started from scratch and the error did not appear again - I don't believe I did anything different this time from the original set up. I'll be monitoring my units for the next while to make sure everything is functioning well.
Thanks again.

Hi, Bloodman - yes, it was previously hooked to a Gen 2 HDS 12 - that makes sense, since this was the first time setting up the new HDS 12 Live. Thanks
