1) Header
Enter the header character.
“$” is entered in case of connecting to the general sensor units.
In case of connecting to the AIS, enter “!” as the header character.
When “!” is entered, the DAU receives the NMEA sentences with “$” and “!” as header.

2) Delimiter
Enter the delimiter in the form of codes. The delimiter is expressed as codes not as characters.
“<CR><LF>“can be codified as “OD OA”.

3) Maximum sentence length

Set the maximum length of the data sentence. Any data sentence of which length exceeds this maximum
sentence length is rejected and an error is reported. The maximum length of the NMEA sentence is 82Byte.

4) Maximum time interval of receiving

Set the maximum time interval of receiving. If the time taken to receive a data sentence exceeds this
maximum time interval, the sentence is rejected and an error is reported.
For example, suppose ZDA, DTM, and GGA are set to be received. If the time taken to receive all ZDA,
DTM and GGA exceeds the maximum time interval, all the information is rejected and an error is reported.

4.3.4.2.3. Recording data

Whether a sentence is recorded in the VDR/S-VDR is determined by the sentence ID. Any sentence of which ID is
different from the specified sentence ID is discarded and is not recorded in the VDR/S-VDR.

1) Recording item
Select record item from the pull-down menu.
Select “Other”, when there is no corresponding entry.

2) Sentence ID
Select sentence ID from the pull-down menu.
Enter a sentence ID, when there is no corresponding entry.

y Type in 7 characters maximum, starting from the next to the header characters.

In case of NMEA sentence:

y The talker ID (2 characters) can be entered along with the sentence ID (3 characters).
y An uncertain character also can be entered using “?”.
y Enter as many characters as you like (up to 7 characters).
y At least, include the sentence ID (3 characters).
y Examples: setting sentence ID for filtering ZDA sentences of GPS. ( all OK )
▫ GPZDA ▫ GPZDA?? ▫ ??ZDA ▫ ??ZDA??

In case of option unit sentence:

y A/D : VRXDR
y DSC (NCT-72/63) : ? (Since all sentences are recorded, "?" is set up as a wildcard.)

3) Watch
The NMEA sentence to record and the NMEA sentence to watch can be set up individually.
Set the Watch function of each NMEA sentences to enable or disable.
The VDR/S-VDR will generate the error alarm when the NMEA sentences set as “Enable” are not received
within interval time. The VDR/S-VDR will not generate the error alarm when the NMEA sentences set as
“Disable” are not received within interval time.

y Enable: [9] (checked)

y Disable: [ ] (unchecked)

When the NMEA sentence ID is registered, checks will be entered by a default.

y In case of set to disable

Setting as “Disable” is effective when a sensor unit do not transmit some NMEA sentences periodically.
Set as “Enable” to only the NMEA sentence received periodically.
