NMEA Simulator (Incl. Demo for download)
Simulating NMEA sensors, either separately or as an integrated ship.
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 1 (VHW/VBW/VDR/VLW)
- Speedlog 2 same
- Echosounder 1 (DBT/DPT)
- Echosounder 2 same
- Wind sensor 1 (MWV/MWD)
- Wind sensor 2 same
- ARPA radar (TTM/TTD/TLB)
Complies with IEC and IMO Performance standards for ECDIS, Radar and INS.
- Data output on UDP, serial port or TCP/IP for connection to ECDIS/Radar/INS.
- Ideal for AIS training in Maritime education
- Ideal for test and/or demonstration of navigation data on ECDIS/Radar/INS display.
- Autopilot function following routes with turns.
NEW!
v 7 - Up to 4 additional simplified sensors of each type.
v 6 - Added Log 2, Echosounder 2, Wind gauge 2. Import of routes from standard .rtz files.
v. 5 - Possible to connect with AIS Simulator to synchronize ARPA Targets with AIS Vessels.
Screendump : Ship mode. Sensors are controlled by ship movements.
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
