Hardware Port Status window

Figure 17 – Hardware Port Status window

The NDC hardware status window, like the Control Centre

Port Status window, displays bytes-per-second transfer

rates and buffer loading rates for a number of ports.

(expressed as a percentage of the maximum) However,

these values relate to the ports on the NDC hardware –

the four NMEA input ports, NMEA combined output port

and the USB / RS232 input/output port.

This data is also valuable in monitoring the performance of

the NDC hardware, and as a diagnostic tool for pinpointing

an overload condition (refer to Control Centre Port Status

window for more details).

Hardware Connection Status window

Figure 18 – Hardware Connection Status window

The NDC hardware connection status window displays

all information related to the connection status between

the Control Centre and the NDC hardware. This includes

all handshaking and data transfer information required

for ash programming the NDC hardware during the Port

conguration data updates.

This information is normally only useful when speaking

with Actisense technical support engineer and can be

ignored at all other times.
