7. NMEA Printer and Navigation Log
7.1.
Printing of NMEA Data
The FMD15 can be used as an NMEA printer. In this mode NMEA
signals are fed via the NMEA 0183 interface unaltered to the
integrated or external printer.
Please note, that only data, which are defined as NMEA data, can
be processed.
The unit, which is destined to supply NMEA data (GPS, compass, log
etc.), should be connected to the NMEA input of the FMD15.
Activating the NMEA print function:
press key <SET UP>
press key no. 3 to call up NMEA
press key no. 1 to call up NMEA PRINT
The FMD15 is now operating as an NMEA 0183 printer. When data
comes from the connected device it will be printed out unaltered.
Since NMEA data is transmitted in a one second rhythm, it is
advisable not to leave the unit in this mode for a longer period, in
order to save paper.
This function of the FMD15 is suitable for checking and
documenting NMEA signals.
To leave this mode:
press key <EXIT> three times to return to standby mode.
ATTENTION:
During the function <NMEA PRINT> the FMD15 cannot operate
other functions. This means that cannot receive NAVTEX
messages nor do the timer functions operate!!
