NMEA Simulator (Incl. Demo for download)
Simulating NMEA sensors, either separately or as an integrated ship. All NMEA telegrams can be transmitted on serial port , UDP or TCP/IP.
The following sensors and telegrams are included
- Positioning sensor 1 (GGA/GNS/GLL/RMC/VTG/GSA/GSV/GST/DTM/ZDA)
- Positioning sensor 2 same
- Gyro/VRU 1 (THS/HDT/ROT/PRATT/PRDID)
- Gyro/VRU 2 same
- Speedlog (VHW/VBW/VDR)
- Echosounder (DBT/DPT)
- Wind sensor (MWV)
- ARPA radar (TTM/TTD/TLB)
A low price LITE version includes
- Positioning sensor 1 (GGA/GLL/RMC/VTG)
- Positioning sensor 2 not included
- Gyro/VRU 1 (HDT/ROT)
- Gyro/VRU 2 not included
- Speedlog (VHW/VBW/VDR)
- Echosounder (DBT/DPT)
- Wind sensor (MWV)
- ARPA radar not included
NEW! v 4.00 - Implemented IEC 61162-450
v 3.00 - Implemented UDP Interface
v 2.00 - Implemented IEC 62388 Ed.2 test scenarios.
Future plans - Implementing NMEA2000 / N2K. But first I need documentation from the NMEA Organisation. That can be purchased for the neat sum of $ 3.500,- for non-members! It's acceptable that the NMEA Organisation doesn't give it away for free, but with that stiff price level, the 'open' NMEA2000 standard is not open in reality for hobbyists/small companies.
However, until NMEA2000 has been implemented, NMEA2000 can be indirectly simulated with use of for example NGW-1 gateway from Actisense. The NGW-1 will convert simulated NMEA0183 to NMEA2000 PGN's and feed into a NMEA2000 network. See Actisense NGW-1
Screendump : Sensor Mode. All sensors are controlled independently.
Screendump : Ship mode. Sensors are controlled by ship movements.
