Supported datagram formats for heading information
The M3 Sonar FLS system 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.
•
NMEA HDT
The NMEA HDT datagram provides the true vessel heading. The information is normally
provided by a course gyro.
•
EM Attitude 3000
The Kongsberg EM Attitude 3000 is a proprietary datagram format created by Kongsberg
Mesotech for use with digital motion sensors. It holds roll, pitch, heave and heading
information. The datagram contains a 10-byte message.
•
Octans STD1
This is a third-party proprietary datagram format for heading, speed, and motion. It was
created by iXSea (
) for use with their Octans gyrocompass.
Supported datagram formats for motion information
The M3 Sonar FLS system supports the following datagram formats from a motion sensor:
•
Teledyne TSS1
Teledyne TSS1 is a proprietary datagram format for heave, roll and pitch compensation.
When you select this protocol, the number of sensor variables is fixed, and there is no
token associated with it.
•
EM Attitude 3000
The Kongsberg EM Attitude 3000 is a proprietary datagram format created by Kongsberg
Mesotech for use with digital motion sensors. It holds roll, pitch, heave and heading
information. The datagram contains a 10-byte message.
•
Octans STD1
This is a third-party proprietary datagram format for heading, speed, and motion. It was
