Nmea Error Codes - Rutter VDR-100G3 Installation Manual

Note! If data is not present, reverse the polarity of the connection and try again. If
the data is scrolling too fast to distinguish the data, stop the NMEA test and scroll
up the window until the source is found.
5. Ensure that valid data from each NMEA source is present in the NMEA data window.
6. Make note in the configuration file (vdr-cfg.txt) the identity of the NMEA source and the
relevance of the information. Refer to APPENDIX 2 - System Configuration for guidance
on editing the configuration file.
NOTE: For information on testing DataAnalog and DataDiscrete Inputs refer to APPENDIX 6.

NMEA Error Codes

The error codes in the NMEA data from the NMEA Module identify the NMEA module and its port
that has the error. These errors occur when either the data format or speed does not match the
received data, or the received data is corrupted.
The error message is in the format NerrorXX, where N is the NMEA ID and XX is the code as
listed below:
For example, error message 1errorSD on an 8 Channel NMEA Module would indicate that the
data on input Port 6 has the wrong data format or speed or is corrupt.
