1. PRESENTATION The NMEA output interface allows the conversion of the Topline data present on the NMEA data bus, so as to allow the interfacing between your Topline network and the equipment from a different manufacturer. When the NMEA output interface is connected to the COM port of a PC with navigation software, the navigation information (heading and distance to Waypoint, cross-track error) may be resent from the same COM port on the Topline network via a Gyrographic, a TL25 or an NMEA input interface.
3. FRAMES TRANSMITTED BY THE NMEA OUTPUT INTERFACE The frames transmitted by the NMEA interface depend on the sensors connected to the Topline bus.
