NMEA Interface verification
You can verify the NMEA data traffic in and out of the PI54 by
opening the NMEA0183 input or NMEA0183 output pages.
These pages present the received and transmitted datagrams in
real time. During normal operation the information on t he pages
is hard to read, due to the fact that the ongoing communication
provides new data continuously. Also, you need to be well
educated in NMEA datagram formats to be able to understand
the context of the information.
However, the pages provide an easy way to see if the data are in
fact being received and transmitted. You can even stop the
continuous flow of data by pressing the PAGE button, and clear
the screen with the CLR button.
Note: When you press PAGE to stop the dataflow in the setup window,
you will NOT stop the dataflow on the NMEA interfaces.
