Transceiver diagnostics
The proAtoN application provides a number of features to assist with installation of an AIS
AtoN and diagnosis of fault conditions. These features are available through the GNSS,
Serial Data and Diagnostics tabs in proAtoN. Configuration using proAtoN.
GNSS tab
The GNSS tab shows the status of the GNSS receiver built into the transceiver. This
provides an indication of the quality of the GNSS satellite signals being received along with
the current position of the transceiver. At least four satellites with a carrier to noise ratio in
excess of 40 dB Hz are required for an acceptable position fix. Relocating the transceiver
or connecting an external GNSS antenna can help improve the signal quality and resulting
position accuracy.
The internal GNSS receiver supports SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Service) to
enable improved accuracy and integrity of GNSS position fixes. The availability of SBAS
depends on the installation location of the transceiver (the WAAS SBAS service covers
most of the US and the EGNOS service covers Europe).
Serial Data tab
The serial data page shows all data output from the transceiver in NMEA0183 / IEC61162-1
format. It is also possible to send NMEA0183 / IEC61162-1 commands to transceiver if
required for technical support or custom configuration. A facility to record the data to a file
is provided by clicking the ‘Log to File’ button. Certain sentence types can be filtered out of
the output window by checking the relevant sentence type in the ‘Filters’ section of this tab.
