N2KBuilder^® software is a powerful, free PC-based tool for designing and verifying the integrity of NMEA 2000^® networks. N2KBuilder^® software, when installed on a Windows PC and used as part of an integrated design workflow can be used to plan, document, and validate the design of complex NMEA 2000^® networks. In addition, N2KBuilder^® will directly produce a Bill of Materials (BOM) for Maretron^® products, eliminating guesswork and transcription errors.
