Supported datagram formats for depth information
The EM 2040 MKII supports the following datagram formats for depth information
from an echo sounder:
These datagram formats are received using a serial communication line.
•
NMEA DBS
The NMEA DBS datagram provides the current depth from the surface. The datagram
is no longer recommended for use in new designs. It is frequently replaced by the
NMEA DPT datagram format.
•
NMEA DPT
The NMEA DPT datagram provides the water depth relative to the transducer, and
the offset of the measuring transducer.
•
Simrad EK500 Depth
Simrad EK500 Depth is a proprietary datagram format created by Kongsberg
Maritime. It was originally defined for the Simrad EK500 scientific echo sounder.
It provides the current depth from three channels, as well as the bottom surface
backscattering strength and the athwartships bottom slope. This telegram has been
designed for output on either a serial line or a local area network Ethernet connection.
Supported datagram formats for motion information
The EM 2040 MKII system supports the following datagram format from a motion
sensor:
These datagram formats are received using a serial communication line.
•
Kongsberg EM Attitude 3000
The Kongsberg EM Attitude 3000 is a proprietary datagram format created by
Kongsberg Maritime for use with digital motion sensors. It holds roll, pitch, heave
and heading information. The datagram contains a 10-byte message.
Supported datagram formats for motion information including velocity
The EM 2040 MKII system supports the following datagram formats from a motion
sensor:
These datagram formats are received using a serial communication line.
•
Seapath Binary 11
This is a proprietary format created by Kongsberg Maritime ( https://www.kongs-
berg.com/maritime/ ), former Kongsberg Seatex, for position, attitude and velocity
data from the Seapath sensor.
•
Seatex Binary 23
The Seatex Binary 23 is a proprietary datagram format created by Kongsberg
Maritime (
https://www.kongsberg.com/maritime/ ), former Kongsberg Seatex, to
provide position, motion and heading data from a Seapath sensor system.
