Serial data tab
This tab shows the raw NMEA 0183 serial data being output by the AIS. A typical display is shown below:
•
NMEA command sentences can be sent to the unit by entering them in the lower text box and clicking the 'Send'
button. proAIS will calculate and append the NMEA checksum to the sentence if the "Add Checksum" check box is
checked. In this case enter a NMEA sentence without including the asterisk that precedes the checksum.
•
Serial data can be logged to a file by clicking the 'Log to file' button and entering a file name and location in the dialog
box.
o
Logging to file will continue if other tabs are selected after logging has been started.
o Logging to file will cease when the 'Stop logging' button is clicked.
•
The serial data display can be paused by clicking the pause button at the bottom right hand side of the data window.
Clicking the button a second time will resume output of the live serial data.
