Rutter VDR-100G3 Installation Manual page 322

The VDR-100G3 automatically performs NMEA self tests during normal VDR data recording. The
NMEA self test monitors incoming data from the configured NMEA modules connected to the
VDR-100G3 for missing channel IDs.
The NMEA self test is disabled by default. To enable the NMEA self test the
NumNMEAModules parameter should be set to the value which represents the number of NMEA
modules connected to the VDR-100G3. A maximum of nine NMEA modules can be connected to
the VDR-100G3 at any one time.
The parameter NMEAModule"X"IDStart (where X is the position of the NMEA module as it is in
the array of NMEA modules, if applicable) specifies the first channel ID for NMEA module X.
NMEAModule1IDStart is the first channel ID for NMEA module 1, this is usually the NMEA
module connected to the VDR via the Ethernet connection, NMEAModule2IDStart is the first
channel ID for NMEA module 2, NMEAModule3IDStart is the first channel ID for NMEA module
3, etc.
A3.8 Alarm Parameters
Parameter
Port
Baudrate
The external alarm module communicates with the DMU through a serial communications port.
The port and baudrate are set by the Port and Baudrate fields.
The enabled field is used to control if this function is present. The length of the extended NMEA
archive is set by the totalDuration field, which can be from 1 to 185 days.
