Other Special Cases Affecting NMEA 0183
Records:
BWC, BWR, APA, APB, RMB, RMC, and Man Over Board
(MOB):
During the period when the Man Over Board function
is activated, NMEA 0183 records which contain bearing
and range data, such as those identified above (but not
limited to these), will reflect the bearing and range back
to the MOB position until the MOB function is canceled.
Refer to the MOB section of this manual.
APA, APB, XTE, and the Navigation Autopilot Alarm:
Refer to the CFG Navigation section. When the Autopilot
Alarm is set to No, the receiver always indicates a mode
‘A’, or valid data to the autopilot or other marine device
which might be receiving this data. If the Autopilot Alarm
is set to Yes, then the receiver changes the mode ‘A’ to
‘V’, indicating invalid data when you reach a waypoint
or exceed your cross-track error limit set in the CFG
Navigation XTE Limit field. When the alarm is canceled,
which requires your highlighting of the Cancel Alarm
softkey then pressing ENT (displayed during the alarm
condition), these data fields will revert to Valid data and
the autopilot will accept the receiver data again. This is
provided as a safety feature so that the boat does not
turn toward a new direction without your knowing of the
impending change.
Output Port Configuration Conflicts:
The NMEA output ports can only be assigned once. If you
have already defined a given port for one format, and
you attempt to define a different format for the same
port, the receiver will warn you of the port conflict. The
first format to be defined on a port maintains the port.
The second format will be ignored.
