3.8 Sensor Software Configuration
3.8.1 Introduction
The NAUTICAST ™ AIS requires a connection to various sensor devices. Sensor
Configuration should enable compatibility with existing navigation devises aboard any vessel.
This chapter deals with several ways to configure the NAUTICAST
™ and to comply with the
requirements of the specific sensor interfaces.
Configuration and display is visible on two screens of the Sensor Configuration Menu. The
NAUTICAST
™ offers the following configuration options:
Set up data speed 4800/9600/38400 baud.
Monitor the connected sensor inputs for each sensor channel.
Verify and edit the Sensor Configuration on the display screen.
Analyze the information received from the connected sensor devices.
Produce an electronic installation report.
Configuration of various NMEA protocols.
The individual options may be repeated until the required configuration for the connected
sensor devices is achieved.
During the configuration process, the NAUTICAST
™ is not operational.
3.8.2 Set up Sensor Speed, Checksum (CRC) and NMEA Talker and Sentence ID
The
Sensor configuration is accessible via the submenu „5. Sensor Settings‟ in the Service
Password protected menu: „5. Transponder Configuration‟. Please see the appendix in your
