Simrad SP60

851-164574 / C
Speed log
The SP60 can interface to an external speed log via Ethernet, or a
serial line using the NMEA 0183 standard for reception of the
vessel speed. The sonar will receive the following proprietary and
standard NMEA telegrams:
• Water referenced and ground referenced speed data
• Actual course and speed relative to the ground
Water referenced and ground referenced speed data
$??VBW,-mm.mm,-nn.nn,T,-mm.mm,-nn.nn,T<cr><lf>

VBW Identifier code for the type of system used
mm.mm longitude water speed (indication sign + or --)
nn.nn transverse water speed (don’t care)
T A or V = water_track status:
A=data valid, V=data invalid
mm.mm longitude ground speed (indication sign + or --)
nn.nn transverse ground speed (don’t care)
T A or V = bottom_track status:
A=data valid, V=data invalid
Actual course and speed relative to the ground
