Simrad EK80 Harbour Acceptance Test
Neither tools nor instruments are required. For connections and communication
parameters, see the relevant end-user documentation from the sensor manufacturer.
Context
Most global positioning system (GPS) receivers provide NMEA 0183 datagrams
containing geographical latitude and longitude information, as well as current speed
and sailed distance. Some GPS systems will also provide the current heading, but this
information is normally taken from the gyro.
The properties of each of the available communication ports are defined on the
page. The

are used by the EK80, use the
The communication parameters defined for NMEA 0183 are:
• : 4800 bit/s
Baud rate
• : 8
Data bits
• : Even
Parity
• : 1

Some instruments may provide other parameters and/or options. You must always check
the relevant technical documentation supplied by the manufacturer.
