Tracking On
To Enable Tracking on the selected Beacon ‘Tick’ the ‘Tracking On’ check box.
Description
A Description can be added, for example Beacon S/N or Diver 1. This is an aid for display, event
log messages and place mark reference and will have no effect on the data or output.
Target Type
The type of target may be selected. This will display an appropriate graphic in the plot window. If a
‘Release’ target type is selcted this will also enable the ‘Release’ tab in the beacon editor to control
release beacon functionality
*
If V-Nav is selected then this will also enable the V-Nav section of the
configuration (and disable the channel selector section).
Depth Options
•
Acoustic
Depth is calculated from measured acoustic depression angle.
•
Manual
Depth is entered manually in the text box provided.
•
Telemetry
Depth is measured and transmitted from a telemetry beacon to Easytrak
•
External
Depth is received from an external source
External Depth Mode (NMEA Input Format)
If external depth mode is selected, a depth value for any beacon may be input on a nexus
serial port. Depth strings accepted are NMEA $..DBT, $..DBS, $..DBK, $..DPT. If this mode is
selected a port must be selected that will receive the depth string for this particular beacon. If
the selected port is not configured for external depth input a warning message will be
displayed.
External Depth Mode (Custom AAE Format)
Nexus can also accept beacons depths in a custom AAE format. The data can contain depth
information for any number of beacons in a single string and hence requires only one serial
port to be used for multiple beacon depth values.

External Heading
If the target being tracked has a known heading (such as an ROV) then this heading my be input
(via a serial port). This value can then be used within the Kalman filter to aid in the prediction
algorithm of the filter. The serial port receiving the heading data should be selected (and also
