Interface specifications
The M3 Sonar FLS system will interface with peripheral systems and sensors using standard
and/or proprietary datagram formats.
Supported datagram formats for position information
The M3 Sonar FLS supports the following datagram formats for position information.
•
NMEA GGA
The NMEA GGA datagram transfers time-, position- and fix-related data from a global
positioning system (GPS).
•
NMEA GLL
The NMEA GLL datagram transfers the latitude and longitude of vessel position, the
time of the position fix and the current status from a global positioning system (GPS).
•
GGK
This third party datagram format contains the vessel’s current position with the assigned
coordinated universal time (UTC) of position, as well as a selection of position quality
factors.
Supported datagram formats for speed information
The M3 Sonar FLS supports the following datagram format for speed information.
•
NMEA VTG
The NMEA VTG datagram contains the actual course and speed relative to the ground.
Supported datagram formats for heading information
The M3 Sonar FLS supports the following datagram formats for vessel heading and/or
gyro information.
•
NMEA HDG
The NMEA HDG datagram provides heading from a magnetic sensor. If this reading is
corrected for deviation, it produces the magnetic heading. If it is offset by variation, it
provides the true heading.
•
NMEA HDM
The NMEA HDM datagram provides vessel heading in degrees magnetic. The datagram
is no longer recommended for use in new designs. It is often replaced by the NMEA
HDG telegram.
