The different menus are described in the next sections. The sub-routines accessible from
the Parameter Settings menu represent the heart of the interactive programming module.
It provides access to dialogue boxes, further defined onwards in this document, enabling
transponder configurations to be prepared and unit commands to be transmitted to a
transponder through the Send buttons.
Each of the Send buttons available in the dialogue boxes is used to transmit the NMEA
0183 command corresponding to the parameter(s) situated in the same area as the
button. Some commands cannot be transmitted through acoustic channels. Hence, in this
mode, the Send buttons relating to the commands which are not allowed are grayed.
The history file will contain all the NMEA 0183 commands sent to the transponders (either
per unit through the Send commands, or globally through the Command / Transponder
Load menu). The information is stored as follows:
•
Date of the command
•
Type of the command (serial or acoustic)
•
Number of the transponder which command is intended
•
The NMEA 0183 command
•
Positive acknowledgement of the command, or >>> TIME-OUT <<< Message.
