What is NMEA?
NMEA - stands for the National Marine Electronics Association
NMEA Interface Standards are intended facilitate interconnection and interchangeability of equipment digital date, minimizing misunderstanding and confusion between manufacturer's equipment and provide safe and reliable equipment communication for the mariner.
Among other important goals and objectives, NMEA defines electrical signal requirements, data transmission protocol and time, and specific sentence formats- in which your standard instrumentation and navigation manufacturers use.
The GOOD news, is that standards in general, makes is easy for your marine instrumentation and nav equipment to USE information.
The BAD news, is that when standards "change", you may need to "change" with them.
|
What is a NMEA compliant device?
NMEA is a combined data and electrical spec defining communication between marine electronic devices such as sonars, echo sounder , anemometer (wind speed and direction), gyrocompass , autopilot , GPS receivers and many other types of instrumentation.
So, as you look around your boat, your instrumentation display, sensor sensor and GPS receiver - irregardless of the manufacturer is most likely NMEA compliant. It can share the same "language". |
What are some examples of NMEA devices?
- Depth Sounder
- Anemometer
- Speed Log
- GPS
- Auto Pilot
- Engine Instrumentation
|
What do I need to know about NMEA?
NMEA has provided a standardized protocol to allow communication between marine navigation devices. Be sure to go to the NMEA.org web site for more information. NMEA communication can get technical - but here is what you need to know:
The communication between navigation devices uses NMEA messages -- and these messages contain NMEA sentences. Depending on how your electronics are configured, devices can act as originators or senders of NMEA data. This means that they SEND information OUT. Sometimes, these are called NMEA Talkers . Other devices can act as receivers, or consumers of NMEA data. They are called NMEA Listeners .
Many of your electronic devices (instrumentation) also have options to connect via RS232 or USB with computers. In this case, your computer will act as NMEA Listener. In that role, your computer will have to know how to handle the NMEA data stream.
HandHELM(tm) processes your NMEA messages / sentences. The information from these sentences can be displayed on your laptop, pocket PC, touch screen tablet or Blackberry.
