( ³) Controller Area Network : standard bus developed by Intel and Bosch and selected by NMEA 2000.Is the plan to consolidate all NMEA data received by MacENC into the TCP/IP stream without modification? It would be of benefit (IMHO) to have some control over which NMEA sentences gets consolidated into the TCP/IP stream. There are at least two possible approaches.Ī. Provide for preference selection of which sentence from an NMEA input stream gets consolidated into the TCP/IP stream.ī. Only consolidate the “good” (cause a “green dot” display) sentences from an input stream into the TCP/IP stream.Įither would be required to make TCP/IP workable in a Raymarine systems configuration. This is because the information in the NMEA sentences vary (so does the sentences generated) depends on which RM device is used to convert the Seatalk to NMEA. Usually this means getting NMEA data from two or more streams – one for GPS, Route, Waypoint etc, related data and one for instrument data but the instrument stream can contain GPS sentences with incomplete data. Two copies of sentences with different data in the same stream would confuse the receiving systems.

Just to clarify the 'Repeat' serial port works a bit differerent then the TCP/IP server. The 'TCP/IP Server' takes the NMEA data input from the three serial ports (GPS, AIS/RADAR and Instruments) and consolidates them into one output NMEA data stream on a single TCP/IP port which is then sent to any connected client. On the other hand, the GPS Panel repeat serial port only repeats what comes in on the GPS Panel serial port. It does not repeat the AIS/RADAR nor Instruments NMEA data from their respective serial ports. So the GPS panel Settings could have the option to 'only repeat processed' NMEA data, but then that would limit it to sending out only GPS NMEA data and all other would be filtered out. 'Autopilot Only' limits the 'Repeat' serial port to only manufactured NMEA data when a waypoint is active. There you go: (Let me know if you have questions, or if I missed something.If one is feeding NMEA data from GPS, AIS, Instruments all into the GPS Panel serial port via a multiplexer then it is the job of the multiplexer to handle prioritizing the NMEA data.

If you use a PC you can also get good info on how to connect part. This blog has two distinct research piece. So, I decided to be nice and share what I have learned, as very little is documented in that subject. It took me some time and work to understand it.

The boats we buy from Hanse do not come with the cableing requested to download the date from transducers, gps etc to the computer. If you are in to computer sciences, you can find a lot of link on the web about it.

The Date from Our NSEs are transfered with a data protocol called NMEA. It has AIS, chart plotters, Weather grids. So, I have been searching for a Marine Sofware that would be taking date from my Simrad NSE system and download it to my mac, and process it.įirst it took me some time. This is not the commercial on Apple, but I wanted to give your the scene. Of course, I do use PCs at work, but at home the best computers for graphics and design, music productions are the Apple products. I have been a convert to Apple's Mac for about 6 years now.
