Page 5: Quick Introduction
The way the sentensece are combined, is completely manageable by the user through the ‘Esa configuration manager’ software supplied with the GAMP. The particularity of Esa GAMP-2000, compared the standard multiplexers on the market, is that it is not limited to output NMEA 0183 strings and NMEA 2000 PGN’s, which compared the information they... -

Page 13: General Description
General description The GAMP-2000 multiplexer has as its objective to be an on board computer light that can be used for wired and wireless communications. The system consists of a motherboard with WiFi, USB, serial ports, Controller Area Network (CAN Bus), and to 80 MHz PIC32 microcontroller. The system, based on the configuration can fit a variety of applications. -

Page 22: Software Versions
After the firmware update finish reset the dongle the new software is loaded. 1.2.2.2 Software Versions The new versions of the configurator software will be equipped with a recognition of the firmware of the dongle. Such recognition will serve to protect the integrity of the same, as a different version of the firmware may result in new functionality that is not managed by an old configuration, so you must have the configurator for the firmware version that you have installed. -
Page 23: Baud Rate
In case however, you use a configurator does not conform to the type of dongle which you possess, you will receive a message that forces the user to use the configurator correctly. When this message appears, the configurator is "disable" in its entirety, except that the display of instructions sent on Wifi. 1.2.3 Baud Rate For each input NMEA 0183 you can set the baud rate in the entry/exit of 4800 and 115200 baud (symbol/sec). -
Page 24: Filtering Sentences
1.2.5 Filtering sentences The Smart Dongle allows you to filter the input NMEA 0183 sentences in such a way as to display and multiplexed together only what is needed. NMEA 2000 messages (PGN’s) are translated into NMEA 0183 sentences and vice versa. Therefore the filter feature of the multiplexer still works on NMEA 2000 messages, NMEA 2000 PGN’s are first converted into NMEA 0183 sentences and then filtering and routing is applied. - Page 25 The divisor factor Div is a configuration parameter that allows you to divide by the factor included the number of judgments that are sent in the outputs (NMEA 0183 – Out 0183, NMEA 2000 – Out N2K, WiFi- Out WiFi). For example, if a heading sensor send 10 data per second, putting a divisor factor of 5, it will send only 2, others will be discarded.
- Page 26 1.2.6 Input Priority This option eliminates NMEA sentences duplicate receipts on most inputs. When it is enabled, the multiplexer will assign a priority (settable through the fields) to incoming data based on input that is received. For each input you can set the priority from 1 to 6, where the priority 1 is the highest priority. As an example this function may be useful to set a second GPS as a backup to the main GPS.
- Page 27 1.2.7 Check GPS feature status and time out If you have activated the "Enable Priority", are discarded NMEA data repeated from lower-priority ports. Through enabling flag "Check GPS Satus" judgments are corrupted or not valid from the GPS, so that if another GPS is connected as backup is re-enabled, whereby a judgment is entered in duplicate buffer.
- Page 28 1.2.8 Convert NMEA sentences It is possible to automatically generate a corversione of sentences as follows: HDG-> HDT If this option is enabled, the multiplexer will generate a sentence HDT (true heading) when it receives a sentence HDM or HDG (magnetic heading). If the HDG sentence contains a magnetic variation, this value is used to calculate the "true heading".
- Page 29 1.2.9 Select Depht data NMEA standard provides two types of information for the depth measurement: DBT (Deep Below trasducer) that indicates the depth measured from the sensor; DPT (Depht) that indicates the relative depth with an offset entered by the user. Usually you add, as an offset, the immersion of the sensor in order to have the depth from the sea surface, or you can subtract the distance that exists between the sensor and the bottom of the keel, to get an indication of the depth below the same.
- Page 30 1.2.11 Congestion Display buffer (overflow) The overflow bars are populated based on the traffic, the Red led on the device lights up overflow is reached indicating a misguided Smart Dongle configuration. 1.2.12 Ability to modify the talker identifier The Smart Dongle allows you to change the Talker ID judgments. The Talker ID consists of the first two characters of a string and determines which NMEA instrument (talker) the judgment originates.
- Page 32 The Smart Dongle allows you to send outgoing WiFi on both proprietary ESA judgments, which represent a standard owner Astra Yacht by means of which you can use the ESA navigation software, both judgments Regatta NMEA standard. Thanks to flag "Enable Channel ID" you can view the provenieza channel of each entry posted on WiFi (as long as it is selected, the mode of sending NMEA sentences).

Page 33: Internal Gps Setting & Esa Setting
1.2.16 Internal GPS Setting & ESA Setting The version of GAMP-2000 has two additional settings that can be recalled with buttons at the bottom left of the page in the Configurator. ESA setting Through this window, you can increase the refresh rate of the ESA sentences, ie the number of times that the the ESA sentences are sent by the GAMP at the devices connected to it. - Page 34 GPS Setting The internal GPS (onlydonglewith this feature) has the possibility to transmit data at frequencies of 1, 5 or 10Hz (1Hz default) If you want to have a frequency higher than 1Hz, you need to set a baud rate greater than or equal to 38400. 1.12.17 Info, Warning and Error messages The user, in the case of inclusion filter rules, setting the SSID of the Wi-Fi network, connection to the device is alerted with a pop-up message.
- Page 35 In case you have trouble connecting, you will see the following message: Wi-Fi Setting As in the previous case, even when you set the SSID of the wireless, you may be one of the following messages: Place Setting In the case of the correct change, the user will be notified with the following message: In this case, the user, to access the new network at the SSID is defined by him, must perform a system restart.

Page 36: Step 2: Third-Party Software Link
Setting problems If there are problems, related to device or with respect to the change made by the user, the latter is notified with the following message. In this case, you should double check your settings and try again, or restart the system. Step 2: Third-party Software Link The ESA dongle enables connection via Wi-Fi to third party software for analysis of multiplexed NMEA sentences. -
Page 37: Step 3: Hardware Connections
Step 3: Hardware connections 3.1. Introduction. The NMEA 0183 v2.0 standard and later, use a differential signalling scheme, in order to ensure better insulation from noise than previous versions that were using 'single-ended' or RS232 signalling scheme, ie with a single cable for data and a ground terminal (GND). Connect equipment type 'single ended' with the new equipment of the differential type, can cause damage or malfunction, as the terminal NMEA - / B is forced to the ground with the possible consequence of heating and damage to the power supply circuits. -

4.2. App Astra Dongle Recorder (ADR) ADR, Astra Dongle Recorder, is an App that once connected to the GAMP-0183 acts as a remote control for the operations of reading / writing to the memory card micro SD (optional). 4.2.1 Connect to the GAMP-0183. - Page 39 The selector 'Demo mode' allows to use the application even in the absence of a connection with the GAMP-0183, for practice in the use of the same. 4.2.2 Start Recording. Pressing 'Start Recording' you enter the page of the log files recorded in the memory card. You can choose to continue to write to an existing file, by selecting the same from the list, or create a new one using the button 'New Log File'.

These files can be sent with an e-mail to your computer for further processing. Another wayto download a file on your PC is to connect the Apple device to iTunes and go to the App→File Sharing section.
- Page 41 4.2.5 Description of log files content Below are the specifications of the contents stored inside the ADR file, that is a .txt file but can easily be opened in other formats for the necessary calculations. The file consists of a string for every second, containing different values, comma separated , in which are the recorded data supplied by the onboard instrumentation connected to GAMP.
