PELACSDS
PELACSDS is a proprietary NMEA data set that allows the depth information from two
channels to be output. In addition to the depth information, the data set contains informa-
tion on the installation position of the transducer.
The data set is only transmitted by the
Navigation Echo Sounder ELAC LAZ 5200
. In 2-
channel mode, the data are transmitted alternately from the two channels. A distinction
can be made between the channels using the transducer position.
The data set contains the following information:

Item
Description
Transducer position
•
S = Starboard
•
P = Port
•
B = Bow
•
A = Aft
•
0 = not selected
If both longitudinal direction and transverse direction are set for a transducer,
only the transverse direction is transmitted here.
Water depth in metres
Distance between the transducer and the water surface (draft)
Distance between the transducer and the keel (trim)
Depth mode
•
K = DBK (Depth Below Keel)
•
S = DBS (Depth Below Surface)
•
T = DBT (Depth Below Transducer)
Reliability of the water depth
•
0 = No depth information available
•
1 = Depth information available, low reliability
•
2 = Depth information available, high reliability
Depth measuring range
