A2.8.4.3 Device Location
Enter the location of the depth device onboard the ship.
A2.8.4.4 Talker ID
The first two alphanumeric characters of the NMEA sentence 'Address Field' identify the Talker.

From the drop down box select the string that depth information is collected from. Options
available for selection are DBT (Depth Below Transducer) or DPT (Depth).
DBT – Water depth referenced to the transducer
$--DBT,x.x,f,x.x,M,x.x,F*hh<CR><LF>
DPT – Water depth relative to the transducer and offset of the measuring transducer. Positive
offset numbers provide the distance from the transducer to the waterline. Negative offset
numbers provide the distance from the transducer to the part of the keel of interest.
$--DPT,x.x,x.x,x.x*hh<CR><LF>
