If you want to use an external device
for ASCII input set Use Device to
YES. Select the Port to which the
device is connected. Use the DEVCE
(F5) key to configure the device itself.
End of Msg - Select the delimiter to
be used to identify the end of the
incoming ASCII string. This may be
either CR, LF or CR + LF.
Press the ANNOT (F3) key to define
which of the incoming ASCII strings
should be stored as a point
annotation and how. You may identify
up to four different message types
(Annotation #1 to #4).
Set User defined to YES. Enter a
description to identify the annotation
(e.g. depth sounder).
Message Id - This can be used to
identify particular data within the
incoming ASCII string. See Working
Example 2 for an example.
Data prefix - To more easily identify
the annotations registered with a point
it is possible to couple them with the
above given description. The
description will then be stored
together with the ASCII string.
Reply - As a reaction of the sensor to
an incoming ASCII string an NMEA
message may be sent back to the
external device. In case of a camera,
for example, this may allow you to
have the position being integrated into
the photograph afterwards.
Press CONT (F1) to return to the
CONFIGURE\ ASCII Input panel.
