Mercury VesselView 7 Integration
Mercury VesselView 7 SmartCraft data display and interaction are enabled through the NSS
when a VesselView 7 gateway device is present on the NMEA 2000 network.
A Mercury icon will automatically appear on the Pages panel when the device is available.
You access Mercury VesselView 7 settings from the menu bar in the bottom of the VesselView
7 screen.
For more details on VesselView 7 engine monitoring and control refer to Mercury VesselView 7
documentation.
The following VesselView interactions are not fully supported from the NSS :
• Smart Tow is not available
• Descriptive fault text is not shown
• Maintenance information at startup will not be shown
• No Zeus Axius AutoPilot control
• No J1939 support
A Mercury VesselView 7 device connected to the NMEA 2000 network should automatically
be identified by the NSS. If not, enable the feature from the advanced option in the system
settings menu.
NMEA 0183 Data logging
All serial output sentences sent over the NMEA 0183 TCP connection are logged to an internal
file. You can export and review this file for service and fault finding purposes.
The maximum file size is predefined. If you have added several other files to the system (sonar
and/or StructureMap recordings, music, pictures, pdf files), this may reduce the allowed file
size for the log file.
The system logs as much data as possible within the file size limitation, then it starts
overwriting the oldest data.
Exporting the log le
The log file can be exported from the Files dialog.
When you select the Log database you are prompted to select a destination folder and
filename. Once accepted the log file is written to the chosen location.
