Interface specifications - Processing Unit - all format
The EM 2040 MKII system will interface with peripheral systems and sensors using
standard and/or proprietary datagram formats. This is a description of available datagram
formats for EM multibeams using the all format.
Supported datagram formats for position information
The EM 2040 MKII supports the following datagram format for position information.
These datagram formats are received using a serial communication line.
•
PTNL GGK
This third party datagram format is used to transfer latitude and longitude of vessel
position, time of position fix and status from a global positioning system (GPS).
•
NMEA GGA
The NMEA GGA datagram transfers time-, position- and fix-related data from a
global positioning system (GPS).
•
Simrad 90
The Simrad 90 datagram is a proprietary format created by Kongsberg Maritime to
interface position sensors.
Supported datagram formats for external clock
The EM 2040 MKII supports the following datagram format from an external clock.
This datagram format is received using a serial communication line.
•
NMEA ZDA
The NMEA ZDA datagram contains the universal time code (UTC), day, month,
year and local time zone.
Supported datagram formats for heading information
The EM 2040 MKII supports the following datagram formats for vessel heading and/or
gyro information.
These datagram formats are received using a serial communication line.
•
NMEA HDT
The NMEA HDT datagram provides the true vessel heading. The information is
normally provided by a course gyro.
•
SKR82 Heading
This is a third-party proprietary datagram format for heading. It was created by
Simrad Yachting (
https://www.simrad-yachting.com ) for use with their Simrad
Robertson SKR80(82) gyrocompass.
