Data formats
The following NMEA 0183 wind and navigation data can be decoded
by ST5000 Plus.
Data NMEA 0183
Course Over Ground VTG, RMC, RMA
Speed Over Ground VTG, RMC, RMA
Cross Track Error APB, APA, RMB, XTE
Bearing to Waypoint APB, BWR, BWC, RMB
Distance to Waypoint BWR, BWC, RMB
Waypoint Number APB, APA, BWR, BWC, RMB
Apparent Wind Speed VWR, MWV
Apparent Wind Angle VWR, MWV
Speed Through Water VHW
Depth DBT
Water Temperature MTW
Note: The autopilot only decodes the last four characters of waypoint
names. Therefore, if long waypoint names are used, the last four
characters must be unique to enable the waypoint advance function to
work.
Transmission of NMEA data on SeaTalk
If any of the above NMEA data is received and the equivalent data is
not present on SeaTalk, the autopilot will transmit the data onto
SeaTalk to make it available to other SeaTalk compatible instruments.
Depth is transmitted in the units defined by the first page in the data
page rollover. Water temperature is always transmitted in ºC.
