Once you have selected the depth log format, select
a depth log frequency interval in seconds. If the
frequency is set at 5, PC/View will log the depth
every 5 seconds. PC/View will always log the
depth to a file named with the current local date
(year month day) and a file extension of .dep (e.g.
19990401.dep
). By default, the file will be
saved in the PCView\Data directory
(
D:\Program
Files\Interphase\PCView\Data\ ).
If you wish to save to another directory, specify the
new directory in the
Depth log destination direc-
tory box. To send the depth information out a se-
rial port as well, click in the box labeled Output to
Serial Port and select a serial port from the pull-
down menu. PC/View will automatically configure
the protocol of the selected serial port to the
NMEA 0183 standard.
